How to Play Schubert’s Ave Maria on the Violin | Violin & Viola TV #216
In this video I teach you how to play Schubert’s Ave Maria on the violin.
I use the first and the third position. If you can’t play the third position yet, it’s possible to play everything in the first position.

Watch this video and I will walk you through this piece and tell you all about the fingering, bowing en rhythm:
Some general tips I give in the video:
- Always keep the accompaniment in your mind while playing the solo.
- Practice the rhythm very solid first. After that you can take more freedom.
- Play it very smoothly.
- Listen to singers performing this piece and play it like you would sing it.

Hi Zlata
I really enjoyed the video, I’m a beginner on the violin. I would love if you could make a video of viva LA vida. I’d love to learn that one. Still working on my vibrato. Thank you for all your help.
Hi Cindy, possibly I will make it. In the meantime you can search for sheet music. Here are some videos about vibrato: https://violinlounge.com/learn-vibrato/
All the best, Zlata
