Ya when I asked her if she is doing theory with me, she said no need for theory, but if I wanted then I can buy my own book and do it, and ask her questions if I don't understand...
I can understand her also..Since I only have limited time with her per lessons. Haha.. Oh yeah I can ask paramore to teach me. ^^ But I need to clarify with my teacher which board I'm doing? |

QUOTE(yott-chan @ Oct 16 2008, 05:04 PM) I never even see real violin in front of my eyes before. Kesian Coincidence???  Icic, so it should be no problem with me then  I'm interested in learning violin coz I loooooovveeeee the sound it could make. Been wanting to learn since school, but my parents were really against music classes, I have to wait until I start working and have my own money, so they can't object too much I guess coz I won't be spending their money    Haha except for the age part.. I told my mum that I wanted to use my salary to pay off the fees but now she insisted she doesn't mind paying for me. But if you practice long enough, right or left handed, shouldn't be a problem, should it??If you change the placement of the chin rest, won't it become a lefty's violin? |

You guys are forgetting gu zheng!!!
Btw do you make sure that your bow is parallel to the bridge when bowing at the point? Cause I'm having a hard time, maybe my arm is short??  |

QUOTE(icyfawkes @ Oct 17 2008, 10:18 AM) gu zheng,i put it in the cool category,its has a kinda erudite & ocean type of sound...can be angry and mild,kinda like gandalf frm LOTR Gandalf? I thought he was a nice old man? Can't remember him being angry.... but pipa...  its romantic,sorrowful,petite...more of a woman taste in it  try positioning your wrist not hand... Ah.. But does it really matter if you bow dead parallel or not? |

LOL I don't read the books. I only watched the movies.
What I meant was keeping the position of the bow parallel to the bridge all the time = dead parallel. |

QUOTE read the book,there are alot of scenes cut in the movie,you are missing alot of details from the story... Nah.. Not really into reading story books under this genre. I heard the english was too deep? Hard to understand leh.. Hehe But harry potter is okay.. I have a friend who is into LOTR books too.. And I think he has WOW books too.. I remembered seeing some night hero on the cover of the book. QUOTE you mean how to continue playing with the bow straight like an X sign with the violin?  |

I like practicing. Its just that its hard to see and correct your bowing technique. The moment I start playing, I'm only concentrating on my left arm and make it a point to move my right arm by memory. So.. I cant tell if I'm bowing with the correct technique?
Blek. I don't know what I'm saying.  This post has been edited by yunnie: Oct 17 2008, 02:43 PM |

Not as terrible as before.. But still need to practice more on synchronizing my left fingers and right arm when changing notes.. And also avoid touching other strings when bowing.
 Btw will your fingers (left) touch other strings when you press for a note? For example when pressing G on D string, do your fingers touch the A string?  Haha how's work today btw? |

I practice only 30 minutes the most per day. =P Does that count?
Urgh have to get a part time job to pay for the fees then.. Not planning to rely on my parents Economy almost down the drain or not, it doesn't really affect their education line right? Sure. PM me your email add. |

 Don't know nuts about currency.. XDSometimes if I practice too long.. I'll get tired and sleepy.. And I don't like playing if I'm in a bad mood.. So once awhile will skip a day of practicing.. XD I find it hard to concentrate when I'm stressed... when musics are suppose to help you destress? |
