I am 26 and will be 27 this October. I think it's not too late to learn.
Day 1 - Starting with this amazing video.
Thank you for the video.

The hallmark of a really good tutor is to explain the very complex in simple terms so that the students can readily understand and this what you do very effectively Alison - 10/10

Of all the music teachers online or even in music schools this was the best lesson i came across. Appreciate your effort and your time spent to create this video. Most teachers in India under trinity college dont have idea about theory, kind of angry at trinity board who should evaluate and scrutiny all its centers and instructors in India.

@phobulous Thank you for noticing my 'vocal error'
Its difficult to talk on video whilst concentrating on delivering the information whilst also thinking about what Im going to say next!!
I have changed the description under the video now as I cant change the actual video.

Thank so much for these free violin lessons, I have been watching them, so far from lesson 1 to 4 and the basics music theory. I got a violin 6 years ago as my birthday present, because it was my wish to learn to play it, but I never touch it. I was so busy working, no time or $ for my lessons. Now I have time, and I really enjoy your videos, I like to learn new things and this is one of my bucked list wishes, please do not stop posting more videos, especially for beginners like me.

[Khandum]

I love how Allison responds back to almost everyone's comments not much youtubers do that!!

[alisonlekarev]

Thank you so much for doing these videos! So many children are excluded from learning a musical instrument nowadays, because their parents can't afford it (it was free at school, in my day!) Videos like yours are invaluable. My daughter has 15 minutes a week, with a tutor at school, because that's all we can afford, so I often show her your videos, to help clarify things, and inspire her. I can't even express how grateful I am! You're an angel! x

[Krisstofers]

Love, love, love your vids!!! Thank you for your previous assistance (referring me to see a violin luthier regarding my bridge.) On this video, six years later. I just wanted to mention one way that I was told by a music teacher in my third grade music class, is how to memorize the whole rest vs half rest. "Imagine a gentleman wearing his top hat. A man who meets a lady does a very polite bow will remove his hat when he bows. This takes longer - 4 counts. A man who passes another man on the street will bow his head and tilt his hat a bit. This takes shorter time - 2 counts." and that was how I remembered whole vs half rest.

She seems like a very respectable woman. I've been a musician for a while. I've had my violin for two days. Already knowing some basics of music theory and stringed instruments makes it come a little more naturally to me than it would if I did not already have experience. I still have a lot to learn. Many guitarists do not know how to read music. I only knew a little. The violin is such a sophisticated instrument. I admire the culture of sophistication that seems to come with it. It would have been very good for me if I grew up admiring more people like this

[louiseharle]

im learning at home until im able to get lessons and out of all the videos ive been through, yours are by far the most helpful. its great that you cover the theroy too. thank you soo much for your time.

[alexstj]

thank you so much i want to learn the violin and everything looked so complicated but now i am starting to see a pattern. you are a great help keep the good work up

[mozza]

I'm very lucky to have started lessons with a private piano teacher who has worked for ABRSM for many years. Him and his wife hold the exams at their house, so I guess there is an added advantage as he will know what to teach to cover the exams properly. Thanks for the videos Alison :)

[beyoncehenry]

I thank GOD everyday for this channel, you have helped me so muchhh. Thank you so much, GOD bless you and what you are doing for people all over the world. ❤️

[jenessahunter]

I started watching lessons and just got my violin the day before last and can already play the first 2 exercises on the open strings paper, im currently studying grade 1 theory so i can start playing to a metronome, (or my bf when he plays his drums)
I just wanted to say thank you to Allison for getting me started i am grateful their is someone as awesome as her to help us out.
THANK YOU!

Best, clearest and most useful music lesson on youtube! We learned notes in primary school but I have completely forgotten them thank you you saved my life !

[sumalsebastian]

Wonderful work. Thanks a lot. Don't stop your classes. I inquired about violin classes in our area unfortunately I couldn't afford any. I am learning for youtube especially through your videos.

[emuna]

Wow very clearly explained...I've been playing by ear my who life and never understood all the grammar rules thanks! These videos are great!

I am doing my Grade 1 theory exam in about one week. I cannot stress enough how relevant and simple the worksheet is. I've done curriculum books - they are tedious and verbose. I am now confident that I will have absolutely no problem tackling Grade 1 theory (not that I would anyway, since I am a Grade 4 pianist).

My sister, however, has been playing the clarinet for only about 2 years and her teachers have failed to teach her many of the basics of reading music (e.g. dotted notes, dynamic expressions, triplets, and key signatures), and this will aid her A LOT in grasping vital musical concepts. I really appreciate this. :D

Let the God of music sustain that beautiful note of smile on your face through out your life.
Thankyou Madam for being an inspiration for beginners like us

[eddiechen]

This is amazing, very simple setting and notes, very reader-friendly. Starting my music theory from your series!
