The best tip a person give you is to start from learning thing from a teacher. If you teach yourself something your teacher will probally say “i really wish you hadnt done that”. Let a teacher get you into good habits rather than finding lessons on here and getting into bad habits.

The bridge isn’t supposed to mve, but it isnt “fixed” to the violin either. the tension of the strings holds it in place.
Congratulations on picking up the violin and wanting to learn.

Email or Post for more Questions…

And also- sorry for the delay in a new video, but being a teenage girl, it is hard to find spare moments in which to film and edit…haha

Thanks :)
