Q&A with Sino Times reporter (7/21/07)

Q. If the parents and children do not know any music, is ytviolin.com suitable for them?

A. Yes, the ytviolin.com is designed for all children regardless of their knowledge in music. This can be a good opportunity to start learning how to play the violin and have fun as well.

Q. Is it possible to learn violin with the online program without a private instructor?

A. Certainly. The aim of the ytviolin.com web program is to provide a better teaching job for beginners. We use step by step video demonstration with easy to understand language, and cartoon characters to help children to learn the violin, and it will be as simple as 1, 2, 3 for them to imitate. By the end of the first year of study, children will be able to learn 50 newly-composed beautiful pieces, and parents will be surprised to see just how much their children can learn within a year.

Q. I understand the ytviolin.com web program has composed a variety of different accompaniments for every single piece?

A. Yes, this is a very important part of my teaching method. The first year of violin study is the foundation. Most people have learned violin the hard way with the traditional method. This is why we wanted to create an easier way for children to learn the violin. ytviolin.com is a revolutionary method. With basic music plus variations on the accompaniment, the children will have more interest in playing the violin. Children will learn the notes one by one, and by following my demonstration, be able to comfortably play alone everyday. They will learn to play the violin in no time, and get a pretty good sense of how the complete music should sound.

Q. ytviolin.com has created some cartoon characters for the violin web lesson. Is this the first of its kind ever?

A. Yes, ytviolin.com is the first ever revolutionary new violin web program. Today, children are more intelligent. We have created some cartoon characters with the music that will make children more interested to play the violin. That way they will learn the violin much easier, faster, and have fun while learning.

Q. What is the advantage in studying violin with the ytviolin.com web program?

A. There are many advantages in studying with ytviolin.com.

1) For the first year, children aged 4-9 is begin by learning the basics: drawing the bow, basic fingering and learning to read music. You could easily learn all of these with ytviolin.com web program. Traditionally, the students would have taken weekly lessons with a private instructor. Usually at this young age, they will quickly forget most of the lesson when they go back to the private instructor the following week. A lot of time is wasted by repeating old material which will make the child lose interest in the violin very soon.

However, if children study with the ytviolin.com web program, they will have the lesson every day (just 10 minutes a day), and because of this every day study method, children will be able to remember most of the lesson they have learned. This will make their progress three or four times as fast than the traditional weekly lesson with the tutor.

2) Aside from the children being able to learn more and at a faster pace, their guardians also will save tonnes of time by just sitting with their children in their own living room instead of driving around in and out every week. The lesson is taken also at your own convenient schedule too.

3) ytviolin.com is very affordable, and is an effective violin lesson web program (compared to the traditional weekly lessons costing $50 or more per lesson. This figure does not include counting in accompaniment costs which usually will be the same amount as the lesson). The cost of ytviolin.com web program is just a dollar a day. Only ytviolin.com web program could make it possible and available.
