Course Description

The course "Violin from basics to advanced" offers an in-depth journey into the world of playing the violin, appealing to both beginners and those looking to hone their skills to an advanced level. With a total duration of 5 hours and 39 minutes, this course is meticulously structured to ensure comprehensive learning and development in violin playing.

As you embark on this musical voyage, you'll start with fundamental lessons on how to hold the violin correctly. This foundational skill is important for comfort and technique as you progress. Next, you will familiarize yourself with the various parts of the violin, ensuring a good understanding of the instrument's anatomy.

Following this, you will learn the names of the strings, an essential step in beginning to read music and understanding where to place your fingers for different notes. The tutorials will guide you step-by-step on where exactly to bow the strings, a key skill in producing clear and melodious sounds.

Your journey continues as you master the open string notes, which are the simplest notes to learn since they don’t require finger placement on the strings. Gradually, you’ll learn the notes that require placing the first, second, and third fingers on the strings. This layering approach helps build strong muscle memory and intonation.

One of the milestones in the course is learning all the notes across the strings, which is pivotal for playing more complex pieces. The lessons are designed to be engaging, often summarizing the key points and offering exciting challenges to solidify your understanding.

The course includes performance segments from songbooks to give you a practical sense of how to play entire pieces. Following these performances, the lessons delve into scales, note values, and time signatures, enhancing your music theory knowledge alongside practical skills.

Advanced topics include exercises in third position, advanced shifting techniques, and learning different bowing techniques like spiccato and staccato, which are crucial for advanced compositions. The slurred bowing, rhythm, and timing lessons ensure you can play with the right expressions and style.

You will also learn about sight reading, which is invaluable for quickly learning new music. The course doesn’t neglect harmony either, as it covers double stopping and chords, which are essential for playing in ensembles or more advanced solo pieces.

To wrap things up, you'll master scale techniques and harmonics, culminating in a well-rounded skillset. The final songbook performances showcase what you’ve learned and offer a sense of achievement.

Although the course currently has no reviews, its comprehensive curriculum promises a thorough grounding in both the fundamentals and advanced aspects of violin playing. Join this course to transform your violin skills from basic to advanced with structured and engaging lessons tailored by experienced instructors.
