Violinst reporting in.

if there's no tuner nut means you can't fine tune...would be harder to tune the violin using just the peg

Very freaking hard I can say.. sweat.gif

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.

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

Btw, what is ear test?  unsure.gif

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.

QUOTE(amacharu @ Jun 29 2006, 10:23 PM)
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.
*
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. icon_rolleyes.gif

Yes, aiming for a Fender violin. I just have posted in the instrument price list thread. Go check it out. If I'm rich in sudden, I will get a Zeta Stardos of course. biggrin.gif For acoustic, I'll think I'll buy the same brand, Eurostring.

Well, I love violins. Violins are like my heart. One day, fall onto the floor and sweat.gif

Guys, shoulder wrest, is it nessacary?

shakehead.gif shakehead.gif

Why not practice holding violin first in the first lesson? blink.gif It is the most important thing to hold your violin in 100% tight.

Playing violin on your bed? Hehe, do you believe I play violin jumping here and jumping there? brows.gif

It's shoulder REST. Yes and no, depends how you hold your violin and your own chin and shoulder preferenece.

Oh yeah, on my violin, I took out my chin rest and only play it with shoulder rest soft-modified. Ah yes, I can post that someday too. tongue.gif

Yellowcard is a violinist? I think its the band.. Btw, i only watch Vanessa Mae.

Yes, a little. Un-notice-able for you, I think. wink.gif Years to come you may know it.

Yes, of course it's a band. But this band have a very unique instrument player, who is the violinst. Check out some of their music. smile.gif

Vanessa Mae, wonderful! Hey, what about orchestra? Do you watch them as well? drool.gif

I watch orchestra on TV1 but its usually at night while watching football. I really like it..

Btw, you got any good videos of any violin player?
*
Hehe. biggrin.gif Well, it's a rock band, make sure it didn't bump you're head. Try Ocean Avenue and Only One.

Those? It makes me sleep. Well, I don't have orchestra videos, but sometimes in watch it on TV at Astro, CCTV chinese channel. Those are the interesting ones. If like those pure classical like Canon in D, yes it's my taste, it won't make me sleep but it will make my head go musical insane. tongue.gif

Ummm...no. I know there is a forummer does. He shares his video on DC++ hub. Forgot his name. Unless Yellowcard live performance la.

Now violin is back, i bet it gonna be a populour again.

Most i like the rocky and the fast one like Flight Of The BumbleBee.
*
Ocean Avenue is a song by Yellowcard la. blink.gif I only advise you to try listening to Ocean Avenue and Only One.

If I'm not mistaken, Vanessa Mae is doing it. Violin are getting popular that time when she play live or something, I forgot actually.

Flight of the BumbleBee, I can play that. But too fast, I can't handle it. sweat.gif I can't play perfectly, still practicing in my free times.

No.

Practice your brain to remember. sweat.gif Or else, don't memorize the notes' name, just memorize the fingerboard finger position.
