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.

QUOTE(ZidaneZCustom @ Jun 29 2006, 10:44 PM) 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  |

QUOTE(kimmie @ Jul 17 2006, 11:39 AM) 1st of all u have to be comfortable to hold the violin and play with the bow without dropping them.if u can managed to hold the violin between ur neck without ur hands then pizzicato and acro will be easier...ok once that is settle.prac holding ur bow as per normal but with ur 2nd finger sticking out to pluck the strings. other methods of pizzicato http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PizzicatoThanks. Now i have the idea |

I'm planning to buy a shoulder rest. How much is it normally? Is there any standard size for the shoulder rest?
I'm just worried if there's different types of shoulder rest
