Going on 4 years as a 'very' adult beginner and all these points are very encouraging, especially the "find songs you enjoy", my most important standard after the basic practice techniques.

I love practicing every day. 30 minutes, more if I have time. It gives me a feeling of accomplishment. If I practice with a drone, I find it so calming, its good for the soul!

[ACSH]

Good advice on playing and enjoying oneself now, as opposed to only thinking of it as practice and hoping to have fun later. Tony Polecastro makes this a central part of his TAC Program :)

I love your charming voice and encouraging manner.

[stepheniepyles]

This video was encouraging! Thank you for all the freebies and help you provide to everyone - not just your paying students! I have learned so much from you! ❤

[teepee]

Thank you so much for sharing your passion! Love the mind shift from 'practice' to 'play'! 🤗

[ogstopper]

Julia, you are *such* an inspiration! Thank you.

Ooh! Violin Villa! That sounds like fun!

[jeremiahjesuyon]

Wow, Thanks so much. I'm encouraged. I love the violin, because of the techniques involved. Those techniques, after I learnt them, and I can use them, make me like to play the violin the more.

[Isabellas.Geigenglück]

Dear Julia you are very kind and it is true indeed. Every New Level is kind of reset for me, to improve for the better. I do enjoy your Videos very much. Just watching you playing ist a great help to me ❤

[susankurpeski]

Julia, this was a wonderful video. I had been taking violin lessons for 6 years before the pandemic. I feel that I need the start over. This video was just what I needed to get me started again. I love the sound of the violin and want to continue to play . I am in my mid 70s and enjoy the entire learning process. Thanks again for this very informative video.

[pruettstephen]

Your spirit is appreciated. So much of what you said applies to approaching our lives. I am going about learning the violin as you described. I took a group introductory class at the community college and literally had not run the bow across the strings when I walked in. That was this past January. As an adult beginner I especially appreciate your approach. It has been fun though challenging which is good. As you said in the why is violin so hard video, violin players like a challenge. Thank you for your encouragement and great videos.

[shakeahmitchell]

This is such an encouraging video!! You make VERY great points. This makes me feel better having some of these thoughts and to find my joy of playing violin in all the noise. Thank you for sharing!

[helenachille]

Julia, I truly appreciate what you shared with us. I am encouraged and hope to attend the violin villa one day with other adult beginners...🥰🎻🤗

[pedade]

Awasome advices that make you appart from other violin teachers.

[aakankshadesai]

Thank you for encouragement. I also left violin because of setting myself high standards.I will remember to enjoy the process :)

[jenniferwebster]

Thank you for this information. Playing for fun and enjoyment is why I have decided to discontinue the lessons with my teacher. She pushed students for the sake of recitals. It just wasn't fun anymore.

[shawnsam]

I've been playing for a few months and I can only describe my play as unorthodox lol I pluck strings as I play to get a specific feel, I deliberately stutter on strings etc I don't know what genre moody and surreal pop violin music would be but I think the closest feel I aspire for is Paganini. I am definitely a "Learn skills from the rules then immediately throw the rule book in the garbage and let the insanity of my art take over completely!" Type

[John_Bradbury]

I've only been learning for about 15 months and I've already tried 3 chin rests and 2 shoulder rests but still my posture does not feel comfortable. I've come to the conclusion that I have to make the best of a bad job unless I find an affordable solution to this problem.

[merofery]

Please tell how can i know position that i have to play from sheet music or notes ??!

[mehmetfatihsener]

Please how play adagio BWV 974 J.S. BACH /Allesandro MARCELLO .please all with position number together.Thank you for all very good violin lesson videos.
