Hey,
so I figured i'd introduce myself.
I'm from 21 Canada and just started playing Violin about 2 months ago.
I've really been enjoying it but don't have a teacher, so i'm having trouble progressing very much, but i'm managing.
i'm really hoping this forum can help improve my skills.
looking forward to it! _________________ SSDD |

You have many teachers.
Just surf on "violin lessons" , "violin pedagogy" , etc. There has to be at least 6 sites with valuable info for beginners AND enough content to keep you busy for quite a while. _________________ I NEVER PRACTICE. I'M NOT FAMOUS YET. |

Thanks a bunch!
I'm already pretty comfortable handling the instrument and moving my fingers around.
what i'd really love right now are more low-difficulty songs.
I've taught myself what I know, and songs that people might recognize are Ode to Joy and Devil's Dream.
I know 3-4 others, but they are not common.
any other songs that people could recomend to me along with a possibility of a good place to find the sheet music for it? _________________ SSDD |

Hi Sirex,
Welcome to the Forum. I too, have not been playing all that long. I
started out by trying to teach myself, and in no time at all, I saw that
this was not working out as I planned. I got a teacher. and it took about
two months to correct the things I was doing wrong. So, please get a
teacher, if at all possible.
While you are waiting, you can get some very good, sound, instruction
on the web at: " Violin Masterclass ". Punch it up, and try it out.
Good Luck,
Jack |

hey, would you mind, maybe sending me some tabs as well?
thanks much.
and Jack: I did have a teacher for 2-3 lessons, but she dissapeared on me.
she did have time to show me how to hold everything properly and teach me proper finger placements, so I think i'm doing things correctly, still.
I have been considering finding another teacher regardless, though. _________________ SSDD |
