Though not strictly related to music, Andrew Kramer does some great tutorials. High quality After Effects Video Tutorials for motion graphics and visual effects presented by Andrew Kramer
His explanation of bow hold is clear and he uses analogies that are very appropriate for young violinists to help them understand the shape of the hand. I also like that he teaches bow hold on a pencil and emphasizes that the hand should feel relaxed and natural.
She correctly explains how to tune a violin, but the video is extremely lengthy and she has a tendency to over-explain. In my opinion, a 15 minute video is not required to teach someone how to tune a violin. Also, the poor audio quality is somewhat annoying.
The point of this video is to teach the viewer how to play the chorus of "Call Me Maybe," but the person who made the video does a terrible job. He plays with very poor technique, and his explanation of how to play the song is confusing. When naming the notes used in the song, he continually says the wrong note names, and he even names the violin strings incorrectly. To top it off, when he actually plays the chorus, he plays entirely wrong notes.
Poor audio; blasted many times. Somewhat poor video. I also felt like she was a little condescending, like she was talking to me like I was a little kid. This way of doing vibrato is also very unnatural and can make the voice really tired really quickly.
This tutorial is decent. Is helpful but there is a lot of talking involved which might overwhelm a novice piano player. He also has a lot of "ads" trying to get people to like the post or try to subscribe, which I think is a little annoying
In this video, the person is supposed to be giving a tutorial of the song Viva La Vida for violin. What they actually end up doing is just playing the song at an awkward angle and don't actually explain what their doing.
The information provided is OK and the overall set up is alright for keeping the performer anonymous. However, it takes way too long to make a point and the person demonstrating is obviously a beginner. I would use this in my class to have the student critique the person but not to learn from it. (this would be a betweener...it is ok info/set up but poor demonstration)
The point of her video is to show people how to play a zelda song on the violin. The information she gives isn't bad, but she talks for WAY too long at the beginning, over explains things, and takes a lot of time. I like that she wanted to demonstrate the song for different ability levels, but she should probably make separate videos.
