Thanks ma'am watching you videos I started learning violin at the age of 52 yrs.
May God bless you...!

This helped me a lot. it is getting worked! Thanks a lot.
Finally I really realized the important of the efficient way to approach how to learn violin

Hello. Just want to say thank you for this. I've fallen out of practice for years and I am finding these kinds of insttuctionals to help me back.

[stevedavis]

yeah, this really does help. (and yes, I really am replying to a thread with 6 year old comments). I kind of understood when this arrived what to do with it, but it's helpful to be reminded to use the metronome with these, as that's part of the extra "stress" I need as a beginner so that I can play cleanly without just wildly flailing time-wise.

Thank for your video, I just ordered but Ševčik and Shradieck to suplement the Essential Elements method I'm using with my teacher, I'll be revisiting this grear video as often as needed.

Muchas gracias por este valioso tutorial, que DIOS la bendiga, ojala pudiese poner subtitulos en castellano para todos los que la admiramos y que no dominamos bien su idioma, gracias.

Happy New Year🎊🙏

Minha professora passou esses exercícios pra mim, apesar de eu já tocar violino a 6 anos, meu aprendizado não foi contínuo e eu possuo muitas falhas. Muito bom o vídeo, irei usá-lo para estudar sozinha e melhorar. Um pequeno desabafo: é meio frustrante já estar tocando a tanto tempo e ainda ter problemas tão básicos na mão esquerda e direita, mas vou me esforçar pra que no futuro esses coisas tenham me ajudado a evoluir.

Oi Flotiees e Rebeca. Eu já tive 2 professores ruins. Então resolvi seguir por mim mesmo. Assisto videos de Internet e uso a inteligência (que não é tão grande assim). Olha: os grandes violinistas que estudaram por anos, ainda estudam. Então sigam em frente e não se preocupam com os anos. Vocês vencerão as dificuldades.

Thank you. I shared this video with my studants. Very clear! Thanks a lot. Do you have any video about Maia Bang?

[frayneashley]

Hi Lora. As I am hearing impaired (you have helped me with this previously) I cannot hear a metronome above the sound of the violin. I do tend to speed up. Have you any ideas about timing without a metronome other that of going through a piece of music without actually playing it, just to get it in the head so to speak. I did hear of a bounce metronome but believe this only available on line or a phone. I thought these exercise will help placing fingers correctly - vital when you don't hear sharps and flats.

How do you work things like this into lessons? Warm up time? Actually part of the lesson? What proportions? Five minutes for this then onward? Ten minutes?

[marioneyra]

Excelente!!! me encantó su clase y explicación a pesar de no entender su idioma. Sus prácticas hacen entender lo que explica. Espero a futuro pueda colocar subtitulos en español. Ayudaría muchísimos a Latinoamericanos que desean aprender este bello arte. Espero sea pronto. Saludos!

[Miarchieve]

You sounds like professor in harrypotter

[richardkis]

Hi Lora, Thank you very much for your lessons, they are one of the best here and I learned a lot from you. However I have a comment to statement "exercise #1 is played strictly on A string, exercise #2 strictly on D string, e.t.c.." In my copy (which is not historical scan but a new edition) there is written something like "do the same on D string, G string and E string" at the end of the exercise. So I suppose the exercise should be played on all strings. Or am I wrong?

[efellient]

Thank you red desert violin!!! This really help because I'm a advance in a violin school and we have to do this and I don't know how. So, I give this video 10/10 stars.

[jogom]

Lora: Thanks for that explanation. That´s a very usefull lesson. If you cannot play at that speed, don´t waste your time. Just dedicate to other thing. By the way, if you have to choose the best book for learning violin from the beggining, would Sevcik be on the first place?

thank you so much you're such a beautiful person <3
