Hey guys,

So, I absolutely love the violin, I really do and I'm willing to put in the hours it's just that my family can't afford for me to have an excellent teacher and I know I need to improve my technique. I am grade6/7 standard and to play at concerts I know you need to be better than grade 8. I'd just love to experience entertaining and really want to get somewhere. Any ideas how? Or what I could do to get somewhere? Are any of you guys in the same boat or have been? What did you do? Thank you, I really would like/need some answers :)

At that level, you're way better than I am, so I won't presume to give you advice.  I'm really just commenting to bump your post back to the top of the list of Recent Forum Posts, until somebody qualified can answer.

Hey Emma and welcome to the forum.

Could you explain what grade 6/7 entitles? One of the greatest ways to improve, especially when you can't afford a teacher, is to record yourself and become your own teacher. Analyze your performance in every way.

A bonus is that you can post your performances online, here among other places and ask for constructive criticism. This likens private lessons.

Look forward to following your progress.
