Check out what the others are saying about the course and come to see for yourself how much more efficient and exciting your violin journey could be:"This was the first useful course on the violin I've seen on Udemy. Others were either too basic or too slow-going or not technical enough. But this one was awesome in that he goes over the proper form for holding the bow, good posture and holding the violin and does a very good job of building up fundamentals.""This course is perhaps the most useful I have seen for the violin. It is full of very specific and practical information that helps the student really understand the process.""Exercises are deceivingly simple but very effective.""This course covers the subject from scratch the instructor is as clear as possible and his knowledge and passion give me the excitement to learn and study and to bring it into my classroom for my students. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!""Wow, I love the technical depth that he's gone into, so far, for the violin's anatomy and how the human physiology affects playing the violin.""This Course is extremely thorough and helpful!! Would recommend it to anyone.""Great course, really enjoyed it! Excellent coverage of the fundamentals. I thought the step-by-step process of learning the songs at the end by doing them a small chunk at a time was a great process. Thank you so much for this course, I'm looking forward to your next level violin course!""The instructor is very clear in his explanations and is highly positive in his teaching approach which motivates me to practice the violin every day. His experience with this instrument is clearly visible in the way he gives attention to even the very small details. Overall, a great course for a beginner like me.""It helped open my eyes to how the violin works and how to hold the bow in a more comfortable way. I also learned new songs quicker than I usually do because of the clear teaching methods involved. I feel I am getting better at the violin already.""This a great course, very informative. With information not only about the violin, but anatomy as well. Amazing!""Blown away by how well he breaks down all the gazillion technicalities you need to keep in mind while playing. HIGHLY recommended.""Very detailed, never realized there was so much to learn in just holding the bow.""Very concise explanations about the process of using the bow and also how the left hand is used on the finger board. Excellent course so far.""Wow, this course is wonderful! I had been doing everything SO WRONG and I'm already seeing improvement! I am so glad i got this course. The instructor couldn't possibly be better!""I was able to really understand what he was doing and why. Great teacher.""Very clear and comprehensive explanation. Just the right amount I needed.""Over and above all my expectations.""It was very informative. Your teaching method is very thorough and interesting. I have been teaching myself since my bow arm wrist has been smashed about 1-5 years ago, and I am learning more than ever, I am very happy!!!!!""Very easy to follow; super helpful for a beginner because of engaging instructor.""I love this course! I have never picked up a violin before taking this and am surprised how successful I have been. Yuliyan takes everything step by step and is encouraging. If you've ever wanted to learn to play, this is the course for you. The lectures are informative, quick and easy to follow. It's also so great that you can go back and watch them as often as you need to. You will not be disappointed!"What you need to take this courseVIOLINANDABOWYou can take the first module without an instrument, but for the rest, naturally, you need a violin and a bow. Your first instrument should be easy to play, don't worry so much about value and sound. Head to your local violin shop or get a cheap violin online. Don't make this a reason to postpone your violin dream.
MOTIVATIONGet your love for music to light up the day. Hear the sound of everything around you, feel the rhythm inside you, think about all the music you will be able to play and get going with the step-by-step lessons. PRACTICEThe more you practice, the better you will play and the easier it will come along. Use every minute on hand to fiddle with the violin and you will discover that it can become your good friend very quickly.
What you don't need to take this courseViolin and a bowYes, you read this right. You can start with the first module armed with a simple pencil. I have found that many times students develop stiff bow hold because at the beginning they are afraid of dropping the bow. They hold it tightly and this becomes a habit later on. Until you learn to secure the bow without a tight grip, we will be using a pencil. This way you will develop a light and flexible bow hold.
Any knowledge about the violinYou don't need any previous knowledge about the violin. We start from the very beginning. However, if you have some previous experience and feel that the course is moving too slowly for you, simply watch these parts in a faster speed of the video player. Or, my recommendation is always to review carefully the basics, as they come back again and again.
Note-reading skillsEven if you don't know how to read notation you will be able to learn and practice all the exercis
