A violin question?
Hi! When i was in 3rd grade (I’m going into 9th) i started playing the violin. I played for four years and stopped the summer of 7th. Now i would like to play again. I’ve taken a swing at holding the violin and practicing the scales. I’ll probably be practicing with my old teacher, but i still feel like a novice. are there any ways i can improve my playing? (techniques) also, when i was younger, i wasn’t into it so much, but now i am and have been practicing every day for a week. How long do you think it will be until i notice some improvement? finally, i’ve been DYING to learn vibrato (wrist). should i start practicing that with tips i’ve learned online, or should i wait to get better?
