ya i also got my violin in house of violin a year back.i still beginner level but feel like upgrade something for my violin.ha. Maybe bow.

bow only takes you certain point...
higher grades require better violin.invest in a good one.

Hey, you also gave yourself a violin from House of Violin?! What is your experience? Is that good for you? Pleases share with us!
I prefer a heavy bow, because my new bow is quite a little heavy if compare with my student bow. When i stroke on the strings, it produce so strong & powerful sounds. By the way, it also give me easier way to hold the bow correctly.
See, that's what i talk about.
When you have a good tool, it makes you more fun & comfortable way to learn your instrument.

No complain.service ok not expensive at least can get it done.
Once my teacher tune my violin and it can't tighten up the string.isend to few music shop also not helping.stringloose once I back to. Home.

Finally itravel from klang to ask him to tighten back.

Adult learner evry now amd thn I stop lesson hard to progress. Currently still n grade 3 or 4 area. My teacher go oversea adi. Need some one to contnue guide me le. Dunno mr woon goos in teachg or not?

hi there,
i think passion, ambition & motivation if you prefer puesue violin in your life.
I started my violin nearly age of 30. I am so enjoyable when i attend the class on Sunday.
I have myself the class at LS Music which under Yamaha Music School at Ampang Point, Selangor.
My teacher is nice and quite click with each other, which mean, we can communicate well, showing the demo very well, as well as explanation both on theory & practical.
My teacher also as member of ground for RTM Orchestra^^ with enough performance experiences, i think her qualification is definately suit to me as beginner.
You mentioned House of Violin, Mr Woon, right? Lol, i thought suppose to be Mr. Wong, i am sorry if i was mistaken.
You might be look on his website, there also stated out his profile, awards, eperiences, etc. You might take a reference. He's teaching also he build up the orchestra for his students to take the part to join, gain the live performance experience.
But what i concern about, will you travel from Klang to Puchong once a week for the class?
Violin. That day he choose 2 violin in the same range, both sounds different. I choose based on my personal taste, which the tone, when stroke the bow on strings, the sounds coming out should be higher, even on G string. When stroke on A & E string, its suppose light, delightful & clean & clear. The bow is absolutely great. When i grab it up, it automatically, hold in right position. But, the case comes with the violin is not my preferred type.
Plus, all instruments in House of Violin supposed has been tune & ready to play, why you still need to tune at home? -- when i got new violin, the violin shown its availability, its easy to tune, without any problem. Evn several hours practice, its stii remain the same tune^^
Last, now, it depend how far you to go?

your teacher yy?

UGPM.

yy? wats tat mean?

to ryan,
as mentioned i leave my violin a while for few months never play due to work, so whn i pick up again, it run tune. tats y i start busy with the tuning

all new violins particularly with new string can get out of tune easily. so one will find it disturbing when putting new strings on and need to tunr it every 5 minutes. But this will goes on for the next more or less 20 minutes only.

yy is short form for a violin teacher name ying yuen who moved overseas to Australia last year (iirc).

i tot u have a teacher already

looking for some one can come over to my area. Got one friend wan to learn also.

That's great to chienx,
at least you grab the violin again^^
so now, you have to hire a teacher for private class?

hey ryan, i got my violin in house of violins too.
well im satisfied besides that the violin accessories that is sold there, it seems like a cheap product but sold at quite a high price.

i got my music stands there too and i found out that there is a small crack on 1 of the legs... and some parts are already rusted... it costs me RM35 which I think is reasonable but still abit... haha .

hi there,
which range of violin you bought?
I am glad that you happy with it.
I got my music stand last saturday from
stage supply which located at Jalan Imbi, cost RM40 after discount.
Music stand is adjustable for height.

The accesories that sell at House of Violin,
i mostly prefer Bow.
They have quality bow, with great horse hair.
But last time, they didnt suggest me to buy the new one, because new violin comes with the bow already.
Just i would like to get another new violin case which can store 4 bow inside. Any advise?

I got a RM895 one. Nope no idea on violin cases as I have never seen and understand very much about it. Still a beginner .

oh, that day RM895 was out of stock, called Rugi!
But now they have beginner violin as low as rm595, if i am not mistaken.
I am beginner too.
Fortunately i catch up very fast, now i just get started E minor melodic/harmonic, argh...

Yea haha. My violin is called Rugi lolololololool.

How long had you learnt ?

hi stuffi,
i start the lesson last year.
That's good experience to learn new stuff.
My teacher mainly focus on scales practice & bowing.
Still not yet go for etude.
But i still look for simple song,
like Jingle Bell, Minuet, Long Long Ago,
Auld lang Syne, to practice.
At least during practice become more enjoyable.
By the way, i also practice slur on major scales,
haha...
How about you?
Where you take the lesson?

It's good focusing on basics .
As a great basic is the key to great success.

I stopped my lesson and won't be going for lesson starting from this month.
I signed up for ABRSM grade 6 piano so I don't have extra time for violin lessons. Furthermore, I can't find any good teachers with reasonable prices in my area. Thus, I decided to 'teach' myself by watching some videos on youtube and learn.

anyone know where to get Violin Suzuki Method book?

MPH, popular also got sell. music shop also got. which voulme u wan?
