What do you want to read?

by Steve Maus

Alright folks, up to now I was sort of stumbling in the dark when I chose my topics for this blog.
What I want to know: What do you want me to write about? What articles are you interested in? Is it more the basics? Or the really sophisticated stuff? Or something in between?
Before you let me stumble further on – drop me a line, write a comment, whatever. It’s important for me not to ignore my readers. But I need to know.

So don’t be so shy – comments are welcome…:)

Could you write about more basic things? I am interested in the left hand, proper stance, violin hold and so on.

Regards from Sweden, Lars

OK, I’m working on that. As soon as my wife gets the photos done you’ll get a new one. :)

How about tuning the violin?
Strings?
Which instrument care can I do?
What about the thing that keeps the strings up? What do you do if it falls flat?

I have no idea what level you are playing on. But I recommend to stick to the basics. Play lots of scales. Or search for the article “Developing Speed” in this blog.
These exercises are a breeze for the right hand making it much easier to focus on the left hand. And they not only improve speed but also the grip and the left hand technique in general.
Play them daily. Don’t expect to get better within minutes because it will take some time. Be careful to leave your fingers directly above the fingerboard and you’ll succeed.

Hello again
my cousin wants me to teach her daugther to play the violin
and she is only 3 almost 4 years old, and thats so sweet..
i really want to but, I dont really know how to :S. cuz she is … 3

so my question is how can i start?
how can i be really sure what size of violin is perfect 4 her, and is there a method for kids? i really want to do my best so she likes it, so it has to take her attention she is kind of hiperactive. =D is that a problem?

saludos!
and thanks a lot for the blog.
