Q&A - the truth about ViolinMechanic (5000 subs Special) 

You're 20 years old?!?!?!?! Mind blown!

LOVE THIS CHANNEL. You're great!

Clicked on your first video because I'm plotting to learn the violin at 20 after wanting to learn since I was younger, your first video popped in my recommended feed and I'm on a violin obsession so I figured why not watch, seems like I made a good choice

Such a good video! I love your perspective on the violin as a means to discipline rather than a hobby! I totally agree. I definitely try to help my students and parents understand this. Hobbies are easy to quit. Quiting on the discipline of practice will most definitely lead to misery, especially in those formative years. I love that you said helping students achieve their goals rather than a ridged 1 size fits all for every student. Knowing your student and their family hopes in their musical growth is so important to making the discipline an enjoyable experience. Such great content! Here's hoping for 10k followers even faster than 5k! Also, congrats to you and your wife on baby! They are the best! My 2 older kids are 6 and 3 and they both wanted to learn violin just from watching me, so I'm sure your boy will feel the same!

Haha thanks for answering my question. I’m in 10th grade and I’m 14. In India we have board exams for 10th and 12th grade which puts a lot of pressure on everyone. And everyone is obsessed with your marks, even if they’re complete strangers. My mom’s dentist told me to study. I’m just gonna tell my parents to make me practice violin every day. That’s what my grandmother did for me with singing and I’ve been singing for 10 years now!

Watching this now that you are almost at 15k! Almost there and congratulations!

How you practice is so important. I'd love to hear some more about what you'd suggest to students or hobbyists who struggle with the quality of their practicing.

Im gonna be so happy to write here when you get like 100k subs, that I was here in the beginning. Congrats for the channel. Also, can you make a video about violin methods, like Dounis, Suzuki and others? best regards

Ahh a fellow Slav! I knew you were Eastern European. I’m Ukrainian Canadian. You have wonderful passion and you are super inspiring and I don’t even play violin but I might change that very soon due to you thank you

Thank you for answering my question. Good luck with the future of your channel - I'm sure it will continue to grow.

I like it.

We always support musicians! Keep it up bro

Congrats on 5k 🥳 !!! Remember me when you're famous lol 😉

Well done sir 😁😁😁

exponential growth!

Thank you so much for answering my questions! I learned so much about you, and as someone who has been playing violin for 7 years, seeing your progress in 15 years is extremely inspiring, and I will strive to achieve your level by practicing and hard work. Thank you so much for inspiring me and pushing me to practice more

Ayeee love the cellos 💖 I'm no musician myself (I'm an ice skater) but ever since I started on a story I want to publish ever since I was in high school (which the story is centered around music and the main character is a cellist), I have had a long time appreciation for musicianship and what ya'll go through. Also accordions deserve love too 💖

Lets go

I happen to started to learn the Violine in February this year. I love it. And I sometimes dislike it. I never had to work so hard for so little result. ( I learned to play accordeon as kid and progressed really fast) but I still love it ( I am 38 now). Never to old to do what you love. And today I treated myself with a new Violine.. Not an Violine shaped object. So beautiful..

Thank you for answering my question! I am 15 yrs old and I am looking to see which repertoire is right for me.

Thanks for sharing your history. Now I see how you could get to your level in only 15 yrs. Where do you live now? I didn't notice it before but on this video I did detect a very slight accent. 😊

my cat agrees with your answers to my question lol

Can I play the skibidi toilet sonata and quandale dingle concerto on the violin I E# minor?

Hi

Do you know some Bulgarian folk tunes ?Because I'm a folk musician end I enjoy balkan music especally Romanian and Bulgarian music ☺

It’s nearly 5.3 rn!

but musically vs soul less yet perfectly

Congrats on your baby. I practice with my baby on my back. You might want to do the same. Hahaha.
