It has a steep learning curve, i'm the guy that's been posting violin vocaroos in this thread. Most teachers are pretty good at what they do, but most will not give you the most optimal lessons. You need to come in there, prepared and ready to ask any questions that you want answered and to be given direction. You have to have some control over your lesson and guide it in the way that you want it to go.

What I did when I started was that I printed a bunch of touhou songs that I wanted to play, and I told her "this is my goal, this is what I want to play. What do I need to do to be proficient enough to play these songs?".

That is the best way to go in the right direction and not get bored with playing classical music ( that most teachers will tell you to do).

Thank you, this helps me a lot in knowing and preparing for what i should expect. Although I understand that most teachers would reference classical music due to the violin having a prominent role in that sort of music, I don't think I would mind playing and learning an averagely larger amount of classical music since I like most of it. However, I do understand your point and i realize that playing a lot of music of the same genre can become boring over time. Do you perhaps know of any touhou pieces one might play with the violin? Does the violin follow normal musical note rules?

>> No.10098982

>>10098952
Fuck off normal.

>> No.10098999

>>10098979

You will be referenced classical music, and it might be in your best interest to follow some of the songs the teacher recommends. This is because the music is most likely going to be easier and consistent.

For future reference, Wohlfarht etudes are great to start beginning because there are lots of easy songs that you'll feel progress and pride in mastering.

For which touhou songs you should start playing. To be honest you are going to cherry pick passages from some of the songs because it fluctuates in difficulty. I started off with Awakening of the Earth Spirits, Septette, and Love-Colored Master Spark.

I am not sure what you mean with normal musical note rules, it is in the treble clef. Ill just say yes it does. The music theory is not any different.

Yes, using a microphone with an instrument can be sort of tricky. Every little bit you move towards or away from the microphone can matter a lot. But also using vocaroo will make it sound weird since it gets compressed into 8 kb/s or whatever, so it could be that too.

I don't know what people say, but to play a piano accordion at a basic level is definitely easier than piano. The left-hand bass notes are all arranged according to the circle of fifths, so most likely all the bass notes and chords you want to play are right next to each other, and you only need to press a button to do so. And also if you make a mistake and miss a button, it sound ok a lot of the time anyway since you just played the fifth of that note instead (rather than playing one half-step off on piano).

Although I just downloaded the complete sheet collection of the touhou ost's, I am first going to learn mozart's (yes, casual as fuck, but I really like the piece) rondo 1 in d major then ponder on which toohoo piece to pick. One thing that is setting me back with any touhou piece is the fact that I would then have to use an electronical synthesizer in front of my computer to read the notes and that is gay as hell when you have an actual piano in the house.

But in any case, why should I bother? I have no rhythm, so any piece that I learn is for the sole enjoyment of myself. In fact I am not going to go trough all the trouble just so I could post in a gay thread like this. Fuck you, /jp/.

there's tons of examples of 1 handed bassists, drummers, guitarists, and keys players on Youtube.

Guitar/bass you play with just pure hammer ons and pull offs like this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5ThulqDmKc

keys you can just record 2 tracks for the left hand part and right hand part and there's bass pedals that you operate with your feet.

drums, you get electronic drums and hook up more bass drums to other samples.
