whats your teacher's name?

Pity you..Well, I don't know. But a small part like that I think it's cheap.

Almost all the Yellowcard songs (about 40) and classical like got more than 30.

For Yellowcard music, I use my ear to listen and play it out. For classical, I use sheet music.

his name is so russianish .. so hard to remember ..


You know the notes when you hear it only?

you dont even know ur teacher's name

His name kinda like Jossha or Is it george. Forgot loh ..

Why you quite violin seh echobrainproject?

No la, like have to listen about few times or if difficult, it will make me listen about 100 times to get the correct note.

For me, the best way and easier for your music education, take theory lesson, it helped me a lot. Especially the ear test.

That's me back in my childhood days.

Theory. Just bought that book. The camera will come in tommorow ..

Btw, what is ear test?

i quit because violin isnt my thing. it doesnt mean i stop doing music. im now a guitarist, bassist, drummer. can play abit of keyboards and am into recording. i perform alot and play for alot of diff people and i am enjoying it so much more than when i was a violinist.

Ear test is an exam thing.

Where the examiner will play some violin notes and you stand at the back and you tell the examiner the note. It's actually to test your listening skill.

how much they charge u for beginner price of learning violin??russian...hmm..expensive?

OMG!! If we cant tell??

Im bad at listening


Last holiday(the 2 weeks holiday), i register and got 4 free lesson..

Also i go thru many website to learn violin abit .. but i still dunno how to hold bow .. everytime i hold must hard for me to hold

Slowly my friend. It will be easy if you "rajin" learn violin.

Whoa. Eh, how long you have learned?

Not long, not a year. But my skill are getting worst if i didnt attend to class.

IMH is a music tuition centre but most people come there to learn classical instruments. Some may go to other centre. Btw, echobraingproject, where you learn? BnB?

i played the piano and the electone organ for 8 years. I'm interested to play the violin but i know nothing about them. I'm planning to learn it from books since most probably I couldn't hire a teacher anymore due to my studies. Currently i'm learning it from some various websites. Can someone recommend some books (or websites) for beginners? I can read score sheets though.

Another stupid question. My mum just bought a violin for my birthday and it's still brand new. As far as i know, you have to wipe the bowstrings with rosin first. Usually how long should i wipe it? I have tried wiping for sometime but still couldn't hear any actual sound.

Slowly then, don't have to rush.

I see. Well, Suzuki books will be good. You can find them almost all the music store.

For the first time, you have to wipe a lot of times. After that you try to bow it on the string, if doesn't come out the correct sound, wipe it until it comes. It usual wipe like until 30 minutes. Yes, you are 30 minutes, it is long for a new bow.

But remember, you have to wipe it everytime you play (after the new 30 minutes wipe). Wipe about 1 minute, don't wipe too little and don't wipe too much.

Good luck.

I have to wipe it for 30min? I thought i only need to wipe it for a few seconds. How silly of me. Ok thanks a lot

abang brother, i dont go to music school anymore (but am constantly learning). not intending to be boastful, but i am performing and doing some session works part time. nothing big though.

IMH is something like ICOM too. they have programmes where u can even continue at local and overseas universities. my sister did from grade 1 to diploma to part of her degree before finishing her degree in australia with honours.

amacharu, my advice would be get a violin teacher. proper techniques is crucial for violin playing. its not really like guitar where u can just browse online and be able to play. also, u need a teacher to tell u alot of things beginners would not bother, like intonation which is very different from piano or organ where a slight move of ur finger will make the note sharp/flat

I really suggest you to hire a violinist teacher to teach you. Sometimes teachers is more knowledge then books.

Can i see your rosin type? Most type is different on how they use.
