I wonder if there isn't a preparatory set of studies to the Dont , also by Dont ? I was thinking the studies you listed are the advanced ones by Dont

@@gamerseven123 Thankyou

@@gamerseven123 Thanks found all the books in IMSLP.

Hi Ada, good to hear from you again! How have you been? If you want to book lessons with me, please send me an email to " topiaviolins@gmail.com". In general having lessons once a week is a good idea to make sure that you are on the right track. When it comes to double stops, it would be better if the student has learned the 3rd position, so that the left hand is trained for more flexible adjustment. Happy music making!

Dear Debbie, we all experience that at some point of our journey with violin. It would be great if we can work on pieces which reflects our current level of techniques. But if this is not an option, try to focus on playing the first note of each measure in an ensemble , instead of trying to play each and every notes. This will help you to stay better with the ensemble and later you can gradually try to play more notes as your confidence grows. I hope this would help. Happy music making Debbie!

Hi there! Congrats on start of your violin journey! Here's a link to a video Joy made on how to hold the violin. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JaU4nSbY8dk.html This is one of the first things we need to learn.

And here's a link on how to hold the bow. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GOG3i61aNa4.html I hope this helps. :)

Thank you so much Uri!! :)

I hope my videos Uri shared are helpful in your journey with the violin. Happy violin playing Chan!

Hi Joani, it's hard to put an universal time frame for all beginner players, because everyone learns very differently at a different speed. In general when a violinist starts playing the 3rd position, it's a good indication of not being a beginner violinist any more. Generally speaking to be in that level, it would take about 6-24 months. Happy music making!

@@JoyLeeViolin How about how long does it take to get to second position?

@@sleverlight it depends on how much you practice and improve I’ve been playing for 9 years and got into 2 position three years after starting then 3rd position two years after that.

@@aunikahuhler5784 Hmmm yea makes sense

@@aunikahuhler5784that’s shocking, I’ve never hear of learning second position before 3rd

I'm sorry to hear that Sybil. I hope you will feel better soon! :)

Yes, The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba by Handel is certainly good for intermediate level player and it's also a beautiful piece. Happy music making Kennedy!
