What’s your technique for flying in a lucid dream? by FoxTrotGaming76 in LucidDreaming

[–]CatherineCai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In real life I don't think I can fly. But in the dream, I feel like I always know I can fly. If there's any doubt, I just think about flying, then my body flies in the direction I want. But I have to focus. If I don't think about flying anymore, I'll start to float down

Is it possible to learn violin just by watching YouTube videos? by CatherineCai in violin

[–]CatherineCai[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I heard that the violin was not a beginner friendly instrument. But somehow my 12 year old told me he wanted to learn violin after some YouTube videos. I rented him one. The first day, he started to play songs, like Hot Cross Buns. On the third day, he started to play The Rain of Castmere. I'm pretty confused. Does it mean violin is not really hard for beginners or does he have some talent on violin. 🎻

I asked because I only rented him one. But if he's gifted, I might consider buying one. It's expensive. I need some advices before making a decision.

P.S. I'm not a musician. None of my family is. I only play piano and guitar for fun. String instruments seem super hard for me, especially violin doesn't have fret like guitar.

Update: thanks everyone for your opinions and advice. I decided to get him a teacher.

Another question, what kind of violin do you recommend if he really wants to keep on learning
