  I am 34 years old and picked up the violin in the last several months. You have no idea how much of a help you are by sharing your passion and your knowledge.

  I love the accompanist at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpR1WhTYBLE&amp;t=895">14:55</a>, playing the piece with a seconds of notice without preparation 👌

  This is by far the best video on right hand\bowing I’ve ever seen. Thank you Maxim!

  I’m a cellist. Every word here is universally applicable to my instrument, too. Thank you maestro Vengerov. It takes time and effort to compile this presentation and it’s pure gold!

  You are simply the best violin virtuoso in our past 40 years, not only technically but also musically. One of the best in Music history. Always is so inspirational listening to your music performances. Thank you so much for giving us your beautifull art.

  This was really helpful- I was always taught to use relaxed arm weight through the index finger on the bow, but watching this video I can see more of a relaxed, fluid expression from the fingers into the arm. &nbsp;&quot;Why use the hand when your fingers can move&quot; is invaluable. &nbsp;Thank-you.

  Maestro Vengerov: I hope you are well. Thank you so much for these indispensable lessons. I wanted to share some feedback: During some parts of the video when you are demonstrating how to relax the right hand, the camera angle changes so that one cannot see your right hand; particularly during much of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpR1WhTYBLE&amp;t=225">3:45</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpR1WhTYBLE&amp;t=230">3:50</a> (it does become visible near the end of this segment). These lessons are immensely helpful, and I am so grateful that you&apos;ve made them available for free. Your continued dedication to building the next generation of young musicians is an inspiration.

  I am very grateful for all this free advice that Mast Vengerov gives us via these clips. They&apos;re not really just clips but almost full videos of the masterclasses.<br>To have a one-on-one masterclass with Master Vengerov is so special as you can ask questions when necessary - questions from a student are very important whether it be philosophical or just to clarify a technical aspect. <br>These videos are great for all looking to improve in a big way!
