I`m going on my second year of playing the violin. Can someone tell me where a typical second year student plays at as far as technics and all? I want to know if I am behind or anything.

Hi there,

who cares whether you are behind or not... I am playing violin without a teacher (I have a friend that´s been playing more then fourty years though, who I can ask once in a while...) and I am absulutely having fun. That´s what it´s all about for me...

How am I suppose to know, some people can play better than others from having orchestra school teachers and private tutors. Some people can play for a year and be a professional (I`ve seen them) knowing everything and some can play for several years and play bad (I`ve seen them too). What can you play and how well can you play it?

Eva, you should hav e a violin teacher or you can form bad habbits that are hard to fix. Like bowing, for example. If you want, I can reccamend someone! "reply" back if you want me to!

I live in Munich, Germany and you? Besides I need a bluegrass teacher if one at all...

EVA, you say "I live in Munich, Germany and you?" whats that mean, Germany is where they make instruments like the violin, viola, cello and bass there should be a teacher or tutor some where.

calliope recommended I have one! Of course there´s plenty here... after going through three of them and getting so disgusted I almost stopped playing altogether, I stick with my friend...

Eva why, bad teachers?

I can play just about anything my teacher puts in front of me. I am just learning vibrato though. I was just asking because it is all in Italian. I don`t know the names of any scales or technics in English.
