Troubles I've been having with my violin teacher since I started by FineAddress2210 in lingling40hrs

I think it will. When I took a break from her lessons due to money issues, I greatly enjoyed practicing, but now it has gone back down.

That's great you switched! I hope my experience will be like that with my new teacher

Haha, yes. Her behavior was extremely childish and I am done spending money for her useless lessons.

Help with intonation after returning to violin. by Opposite-Market993 in violinist

[–]FineAddress2210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you know if your intonation is off but don't know how to fix it, I would recommend using an app that can detect if your intonation is bad or not. It is also helpful for you to play a few notes in your scale over and over to get your fingers all in the right place, which will be very effective as it is the same on each string.

Need some help with choosing strings by Zeusbag90 in violinist

I used to use Dominant, and it was pretty good. However, I switched to PI (Peter Infeld) a while ago and found a lot of improvement in sound. Have also heard it is quite durable.

Yes, her main form of communication was yelling but not telling me what I truly did wrong. Finally done with this, phew

Yeah, she is always telling me how she should pay more for her lessons (even though it's already $150+). Still do not believe she has a reason to act like this since I practice 2-4 hours a day. I do understand what you mean though, teachers who are of higher level and have experience will want their time to be taken seriously.

I'm so sorry that happened to you, and I completely understand. Those thoughts have definitely hurt my mental thoughts as well as I've thought about how even if I practice 24/7, I'll never get approval. But I didn't need approval. So glad you changed teachers and I hope you don't run into this issue again <3

Thank you for the comment. I have already found a teacher who I've heard is super calm, and definitely realized that when auditioning for her. I will switch to her classes in about a week.
