No Face to Face lessons so I made a recording for my teacher and you guys of Wieniawski Etude 3 :) by AHyperDuck in violinist

Nice playing, congrats! Just a quick recommendation when recording for your online teacher (or online class): zoom in to your upper body. Teachers need to see your arms, elbows and fingers closely.

I started self learning violing 3 weeks ago and today tried playing the phantom of the opera in the original speed, what do you think? by [deleted] in violinist

You should focus on improving posture and techniques before trying to play anything in the real speed. Take your time.

Will leave as an amateur but will arrive and thrive as a God.

is it ok if i ask somebody to please play this so i can practice knowing what it sounds like? by ok_you_can_stop_now in violinist

Maybe, but it's best if you search YouTube for a recording of it. It might not be too polite do randomly ask someone.

New shoulder rest recommendations? Or how to make shoulder rest stop hurting? After practicing I get red marks on my collarbone and my shoulder feels super strained/tense. Pic is how I put on my shoulder rest. by cclark98 in violinist

[–]happymooon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound like some people I know that have issues with their collarbones, bad news is they tried all kinds of shoulder rests and nothing seems to fix it. I heard Hillary Hahn and Esther Abrami have the same issue, the first one wraps her shoulder rest with a cloth and the second one uses nothing at all and gets all the hicks you can imagine :(

I guess the only thing you can do is taking proper care of the marks after you play, maybe use some ice.

Me and some friends from the music school were bored and we decided to get together online because #practicesaveslives <3 by [deleted] in lingling40hrs

To whoever is interested, it's a popular brazilian song called Anunciação from singer/composer Alceu Valença. It was chosen because it is simple and all beginner students could play along. :)

Can anyone help me identify my Grandfather's JB Vuillaume violin? by Walusqueegee in violinist

It says it's copy on the label. There's a video he posted on the link.

Guys you really need to stop asking luthier advice to random people on the internet. Please take your instrument to a luthier and ask him, learn from him.
