Adult beginner violinist - 2 years progress video
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.ค. 2015
- I'm a 24 year old (At the time of uploading) adult beginner from Norway, and I wanted to see if it was possible to learn to play the violin as an adult. This is the first instrument I learned to play.
This video is a collection of all the videos I recorded since I first started to play the violin. From week 1 until today.
I didn't think I could get this far in the short amount of time I've played :) I didn't really expect anything when i started. I just wanted to try and see how far i'll get :)
I'm mostly self-taught. I had a teacher last year but only had a total of 8 lessons. Hoping to find a new teacher soon :) I hope you like this video. UPDATE: I got a teacher after 2 years and 5 months. I have one lesson every week.

"You have to start playing violin young"
MY BUTT
Come on it's a matter of hard work, not age.
BubbaPlaysPiano MY BUTT lmao
BubbaPlaysPiano actually it does. its way easyer learning something at a young age.
Sem Andriessen way easier but not impossible. People say that adults can't and shouldn't learn violin.
BubbaPlaysPiano Well people who say that are just stupid.
It's easier to learn at a young age, but adult beginners who are committed enough can reach a very high level. I play viola in a professional orchestra (though I'm not a full-time professional musician), and I started at 17. One of my colleagues is a full-time professional violinist who started playing at 50 and went pro at 66 after retiring from another job.
To get this good, she did 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats and a 10 k run every day for 2 years
Without air-conditioning or heating.
And just bananas. lol
just so you nerds know, that fitness regimen is a fucking joke. Not that it has anything to do with how much time this girl obviously put into her skills.
why isn't she bald then
I'm dying😂😂😂 so glad she didn't go bald
Damn, it amazes me how people can be this talented, in just 4 mins she went from a noob to a pro
It's practice after practice. Geniuses are created not born.💗
@@Strawberryshortcake-tk9ic what’s peactise?
@@alcieeee i meant practice*
Practice, practice, and practice guys!
@@Strawberryshortcake-tk9ic chloe chua is 10 she plays vivaldi
HOW IS SHE PROGRESSING SO FAST? *Ling Ling is probably proud of you*
The fact you said that shit, an you have some k-pop PFP. That embarrassing, and quite frankly very racist.
@@lolz7765 ummm, sweetie, please clarify how I am being racist by praising her?
Also, the only embarrassing thing in this comment section is your terrible spelling.
@@eunhastolemyheart6098 I'm pretty sure they don't watch twoset violin and think "Ling Ling" is a racist slang for being asian. Hence the connection to kpop.
@@lolz7765 ling ling isn't a racist term, it's actually from twoset violin
@@codexone2194 I know I’m late- but there is a someone named ling king in the two set channel and she is an amazing violin musician
When she’s starting her practice...
Her neighbors at April, 2013: Oh no! She’s starting to playing that violin!
Her neighbors 2 years later: hooray! She’s starting to play that violin!
I live in an apartment, im sure they pretty much hate me for playing the violin so bad xD
Me too... 😹
hahahahahahaj
My neighbours asked me stop playing in 8PM.😅
Do you say April? Do yo say, your lie in April?
Its never too late for anything. We spend our entire lives learning. I personally dislike whenever anyone says "oh, I'm too old for this". No, you're not. Your attitude is the only thing stopping you.
I mean, being 80 years old is too old for being an Olympic athlete.
+DaDarkGuy anything within reason...you're not going to shoot fireballs out if your hands because you want it either. I'm talking about people who have the misconception that there's an age limit when it comes to learning new things.
An if an 80 year old wants to be an Olympic champ that bad, why not pursue it anyway? There's a saying that goes "shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.". He may not get there, but he can become a very fit 80 year old
Your brain loses the plasticity required to effectively learn new skills as you grow older. Other than that psychical constraint, anything possible... is possible.
+DDG yes, and your metabolism also begins to slow with age. But it still is possible to learn. There are 70 year old college graduates out there. And there are also fit 70 year olds - Silvester Stallone for example.
Im not just being optimistic. It's fact. Yes, aging in life will present you with more hurdles, but it doesn't have to mean older people can't achieve what younger people can. That's been disproven enough.
Btw no, I'm not an old man trying to size myself up with the younger generation LOL I'm 24. I've just seen enough not to assume age is a barrier for anything. Ever seen Ninja Warrior? There have been guys on the older side(40-50) who have actually beaten out their competition of 20 year olds.
Dali Llama
I agree. Hurdles come and go - dedication makes up for it (mostly!). :)
Its so impressive how she can vibrato at 7 months playing
exactly!!!🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@rosa3778 don't take this offensively but I am a violinist and i forced my teacher to teach me vibrato after my 3rd mind because of how impatient I was (I am 12)
@@bradieydube2225 CoOl
Dude i learned vibrato in just 2 weeks xD
I'm not flexing xD
I truly enjoy playing Violin. My husband, a professional violinist, taught me to play in 1997. I was in my early 40s, I am 72 now, and am still playing. Never stopped playing together. If you are a beginner, don't hesitate, keep in mind that the Violin is a difficult instrument to learn, but if you study daily, you will make it. Just, Don't give up. For me wasn't too difficult because I do play piano.... Good lock....it doesn't matter your age if you want to learn!😊 Good luck... Violin 🎻🎻 and 🎹🎹
Thanks for that encouraging word because I'll probly need it. Im a complete beginner and just got a new violin so I am hoping to be able to improve at a decent pace with my background in guitar
Wow, that's encouraging. I have a strong background in piano and flute and have always wanted to play violen or cello. They have always hurt my fingers so much.. Perhaps one day I'll try again!
I've never understood why people believe that if they didnt learn to play as a child they never will. If you want to learn ANYTHING. Then go for it!!!!!!!
Kassuhday they just dont got the patience
Briana Foster But also not the time because as a child you have got a lot of free time so it's easy to spend it with practicing. As an adult you probably have to work, do the household, maybe also to look after your kids. So I think when you get adult and you haven't been learning an instrument yet you might see it as a hobby like collecting stuff and think that practice is a secondary thing. So most adults just simply don't practice enough and give up because if you don't practice you won't get achievements. That's why it doesn't make fun and seems very fast a waste of time.
It came from the idea that the brain stops developing when we become adults...I started learning the piano when this was still a thing and i had a few people ''discouraging'' me based on that. I proved them wrong! :D
Yeah, like I think I learn waay better now than I did when I was a child, back then I didn't have the patience and didn't take anything seriously. Now I feel like if I really want to learn something I just have to concentrate and now I know how to learn, as a child I didn't think that much. It's the same with studying, now I know how to study, I have developed some techniques, but when I was a child I didn't know and didn't care that much.
she plays piano that explains much
My mum started playing the violin after my father had left us. I was three and she always made me feel like I was a gem, though it must have taken her so much. She would wait until I was in bed, then do the dishes and pick up the bow. I would fall asleep to music that accompanied me into my dreams. The Bach Toccata was one of her favourites. It was thirteen years in June since she passed away and I still hear her every night. Bless the music.
Oh pal you made me cry
Bless you and your mum!
😭
Touching story. Everyone self medicates. Thankfully your mothers’ “medication” was beneficial and not just escapism.
You make me cry sir. I hope too leave a memory like this for my son
You've actually made me feel so much better about being a beginner violinist at the age of 15, because most of my idols began at really young ages. Thank you for reminding me that its never to late 🙂 ❤
Kid..I didn’t start until 14 and I’ve been in 2 signed bands. You aren’t old and you’re not behind. If you want to go to the professional realm..you very much can.
The difference between an intermediate and a professional is an intermediate practices until they get it right..a professional practices until they cannot get it wrong. 8 hours a day. 4 hours practicing ONLY weaknesses, 2 hours of active listening, 1 hour of visualization (both techniques and future success) and 1 hour on repertoire.
As your weaknesses diminish, up your repertoire so that you are practicing 7 quality hours a day, visualizing for an hour and incorporating breathing and relaxation techniques. Being a professional is a full life style and you must leave only room for quality exercise, quality relationships, quality rest and quality sleep. That’s how you get there and that’s how you stay there.
i am doing it at 62 ,, my dog love the music.
@@Yoyorandossame as well 😭
@@Yoyorandosme too!! Just started haha

I badly want to try and learn playing violin but I don't have one. I asked my mom that if I'll do good in school, She'll buy me one. I've been studying real hard. You're such an inspiration! I hope once I'll finally have my own violin, I'll be able to play as good as you!
So how's it going ?
@@sinarybahaa5356 almost there!!!
What is your violin size/company is it good ?
hey i hope you get your violin! if you're looking for a budget violin: (th-cam.com/video/alg--Koxa08/w-d-xo.html). I saw this last night and it's even cheaper now on amazon and the lady in the review said it's good quality :)
@@shafeena7247 Also you can rent a violin. I am renting until I'm sure I don't get frustrated (again). I'm 62 and self-taught.
She surely have practiced 40 hours in one day
She will never be as good as Ling Ling
No one will ever be as good as Ling Ling
Ling Ling would be proud
Ling ling would be proud
40 hours in a day, uh huh!!
All instruments can make music, but the violin can sing.

All instruments can make music, but the Oud can make you cry.
@@mynameiszoro the Oud wont make you cry it'll make you violently shake your head
So true

Piano: Are you kidding me!?😁😂
My dream is to play the violin and be known, that's why it's so beautiful I remember when I was going to take classes at school but the vacancies were over but I'm going to try again☘️
Ofc you should never give up on that dream you’ll be an amazing violin player if you keep trying now
EHM EHM, im claiming my spot here before you become famous in 5 years
Here
My parents would kick me out of home if i would start play violin 🙊😂
why
@@alisa1955 because its too noisy i guess😆
Electric violin is your choice 🤭🤣
Some would kick their sons out of home because they dont wanna play violin or piano.
Meanwhile my parents would kick me out if I WON'T play the violin
and im here still listening my neighbour still playing it like squidward after 2 years..
Pampamkun lol
Pampamkun throw your neighbor into the sea. 😈
Pampamkun kkkkkkkkkkkk
I can't stop laughing
I think my neighbors are annoyed because of me, i sometimes practice piano till 11pm
I'm a professional illustrator and I'm fed up with people saying: it's a gift, you're lucky, I wish I had your talent, I'll never be able to draw like you. But your video is another proof that you can master something with one essential thing: WORK WORK AND WORK. Thanks a lot for the inspiration. You deserve to progress, you work hard! ❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪
Katikut talent is an aspect though
Ive been playing Bass for over 8 years, and I know people who have never played before who can pick it up and play it as good as if not better than me in a matter of a few hours
Working harder is fantastic advice, but there are people who are just naturally more gifted at things
Katikut people are entitled to say what they want. some people can't afford such luxury, others struggle to learn with learning disabilities. to say your fed up with those say they wish they could do this. some really can't. for instance. I can never continue learning more in college or university because I don't have the ability to learn more. I struggled in elementary and high school.
so I think it's a bit harsh saying what you did because some of these people, you don't know their capabilities as well as they do. or the fact if they can afford it. I'm just saying to be a little more open minded and mindful of others who may not be able to succeed
I used to play piano and i would practise for an hour an a half or two hours every day and yet i still failed my grade four twice. I find people who can play music with ease and yes some hard work extrememly talented, but music is a talent. Some of us happen to do better than others and that skill should be appreciated.
What Day is it ? well, there are different learning methods... the only "gift" you can have is being able to learn more efficiently. and people can even improve on that.
Katikut When talent doesn't work, hard work beats talent.
This video inspired me at the age of 39 to start learning the violin ❤️
i am 61 and learning lol want be good by time i retire lol
Totally inspiring. I've just started violin study again after 24 years...and it's hard. Thank you so much for showing that improvements ad up through practice!
I like how she played some Lindsey Stirling, Mario, and Pirates of the Caribbean songs
and full metal alchemist
Dale Wright she even looks like lindsey stirling... just a little bit
playing the violin makes u more gorgeous
Impossible, she's as gorgeous as they come
LilMissTravelPants I only read Ass und cum
You don't need a woman for either of those things 200.
LilMissTravelPants 😂
Still waiting for this effect 👀
I’ve just started. This has made me excited for what is to come. Thank you for sharing.
I just rented my first violin to try to learn about a month ago. Im getting better daily, but this made me much more hopeful for the future! Thank you for posting this!

I played piano for 6 years and I'm still horrible at it.
See guys, it's not about the age, it's about the passion. I didn't have passion for piano. Right now, I am 16, and I'm self teaching ice skating and with daily stretches, slowly becoming elastic. It is my passion, please wish me luck!
Skittles Flutter Good luck! 😂
Skittles Flutter lots of luck!
Skittles Flutter that Is awsome dude!!
You're right, Passion is everything, i've 17 and I recently started playing guitar, I still suck on it but i'm practicing with all my effort! Good luck!
Skittles Flutter good luck!
I am here. Just started dreaming to learn playing violin as well)))
Молодчинка, стремление и труд свернут горы. Это пример для всех, мечта всегда в ваших руках...
I started playing violin at 24, but I didn’t stick with it... now 10 years later, I kick myself in the butt for not taking it seriously because I absolutely loved it! Now or never right?
Don't ever forget, passion. passion is what creates great things.
I played piano for a year when i was nine. Last january i started again. I regret having stopped but i play now, a couple of hours a day. It fills me up.
Go for it!
GO FOR IT QUEEN
When I had notes from internet- I hadn't much will to play. But I chose about 400 nice songs that I like, and now I'm playing them from my hearing ( not from notes but as I think that should be- just like, if you sing ) . And now I play about 2 hours per day when then (as I sad) played very little.
when an adult who learns the violin for 2 yrs is better than my orchestra teacher back in elementary school after 20 years of experience...
lol!!! are you serious though?
+Pi Niata yeah😂
Ikr, I've made more progress in a year than 3 years in middle school orchestra
you cant hate on him tho, 20 fking years is alot of time, i wouldn't give one fk.
I can't say anything about my teacher, he was a Graduate from Julliard
This is the boost I needed to carry on Ive only just picked it up but to know how far you have come give real inspiration to me
You are honestly one of my inspiration to play violin, I just ordered my own violin and I’ll be self-teaching
I’m on day 4! This gives me hope 😂
Day 3
How are u
Day 1 lmao
How old are you? I also want to learn to play the violin
@@Selinnn0106 OMG !!! I was not expecting to see a Turk here!
If I was a parent and this was my child I would be so damn proud.
Accordion with violin hmmmmmmmmmm maybe, idk
That was VERY cool, watching you get better every cut. And seeing you become more emotionally involved in each new piece you chose. Thank you .
I'm getting a summer job to save up for a violin, so excited to learn !
The fact that she persevered for 2 years.. that’s not common and it’s powerful. Kudos!
I know......I gave up after a few weeks😢😢😢
It's cool seeing her wrist progressively getting straighter
Jacob Hamm YES at first I was cringing but now I'm satisfied
Jacob Hamm also how she played with her shoulder and not her elbow but she got better about that
Jacob Hamm but she should use her whole bow tho, in most of the clips she's just using the middle/tip of her bow
What a WONDERFUL idea to video yourself periodically. This is fascinating and your progress is so impressive.
this is amazing!!! i was feeling really frustrated today with my violin but after watching how much you improved in not much time i feel better. i always see people saying you need to play for like 500000 years to sound good but you sound amazing after just 2!!!!!
-Be me
-get kicked out of orchestra class
-Fuck orchestra
-Watch this video
-Regret previous life decisions
Classic Doge true
honestly the only reason i decide to learn instruments is so that I can play meme songs...

@@hibarashid3670 do it you won't regret it
@@Finbarbird Am trying, it's difficult
I have bought my first violin today. I've always loved the sound and wanted to learn. I do play guitar & piano but I'm not particularly good, just knock out chords and jangle the keys. I didn't play much for over the last ten years or so. Then a friend bought a nice Ibanez electric guitar. It felt lovely to hold and the action is nice, this inspired me to get myself a similar guitar. I have really gotten back into playing again and got a portable electric piano a few weeks ago. My work colleague and I were putting rubbish into a bin and found a violin. We talked about how we wanted to learn and ever since I have thought about it until I caved in and got one today :-) Seeing this long lady progress has inspired me this evening. I will get lessons so as to not develop bad habits or technique. Great video :-) many thanks x
This motivates me a lot. I just got a violin two days ago, I am still learning how to read notes, but so far I can play Ode to Joy and Bella Ciao. I watch adult beginner progress videos to motivate myself to learn and hopefully I will improve :)
*violinist playing for 10 years has left the sever* so much likes 😮
@Leona Yamauchi so?
Especially in the beginning. She is super new at it and it's difficult to do
great job girl. you progressed awesome! I played the violin for 9 years.
Where would a beginner start? Can you teach yourself mostly online or is this girl just really smart and I will fail? Haha
LilMissTravelPants she must be getting lessons from a private teacher
+LilMissTravelPants online lessons only give you the brief guide, whereas the tutor will show you where you did wrong, or show ways of improvements (exercises to improve the left hand for example)
Thank you both :) Definitely will do the tutor route.
i have 3 years playing guitar hero
Wow!! Im so inspired!! Thank you for sharing. My daughter and I start our first lessons in January 2022. I will come back to this video if I ever feel discouraged with my practice. Thank you🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing your progress with us. Very impressive. Love your love and dedication.

I want to be a violinist but I don't have a violin and i use 2 sticks to pretend it's a violin and I don't know how to play it :(
I'm a violinist of 10 years, so I've known a lot of other musicians. The best bass player I have ever known didn't start playing until his freshman year of high school, but by the time he graduated, he had become so good that in his freshman year of college he was (and still is) the principal bass player of University of Tennessee. How did he get so good in only four years? he practiced for 5 hours a day, every day for 4 years
Antrerei neighbours must've planned a hit on him, right?
and because no one plays bass
Antrerei #dedication
How did he find the time to play 5+ hours a day?
Antrerei wherr does he get the time shouldnt he be doing homewrok
This is the first time eveeerrr to witness a TH-cam video without dislikes!
Amazing progress gave me goose bumps♥️♥️♥️♥️
I am seeing that this women plays a violin using techniques that are taught later on. I think she is much further on than 2 years. Her speed & agility are incredible. Really talented.

I'm 56 and self-taught recently! It NEVER occurred to me to wonder if an adult could learn to play the violin. My gosh, you can learn at any age at all! I know many people who learn to play violin in their 50's, 60's and 70's.

Congratulations! You play the violin very well! And I love Lindsey Stirling too. Hope that you share more videos!
Nice job! During the last half of my senior high school year (1994) at Walhert High School (Dubuque, IA), I picked up the violin and taught myself for a few days. The following week I was in the school’s ensemble. We played musicals, at galas, for the school Mass, and other school functions. Mr. Dave Resnick, the music director, even gave the solo part in the musical “Bye Bye Birdie” to me. It was one of the best time of my life. Thank you so much Mr. Resnick for giving lending me your violin and for giving me the opportunity!
That was nearly 30 yrs ago and I haven’t touched the violin since but this is giving me inspiration to learn it again.
omg !!!I've been playing the violin for 5 years and I don't know how to do these last lessons, you play very well, congratulations for the effort
this shows if you put in the effort to accomplish what you want to do you can do it
Juan Aguilar Ehh I was a boss at the saxaphone in 3 months time, that being after moving to a new country and not knowing the language.
SR Real
saxophone is one of the easiest instruments to pick up but one of the hardest to master. If you can growl, I consider you a pro because, bro. That stuff is hard. (Also if you can growl do you have any tips?)
MicKayla "saxophone is one of the easiest instruments to pick up" pick up some brain cells
So I can become a world champion sprinter despite my club foot? Highly doubt it.
Maybe. We didn't know it was possible to go to the moon until someone did it.
she's really good for an adult beginner and she's only playing been playing for two years, that's impressive
i cant think of a name so this is it you could make your name spicy nugget Queen
🥰
I’m 13 and just learned how to play crystallize and now I just feel like I’m not talented- also been playing for two years
Violin noobie is a true inspiration to the whole world. Awesome!👍👌👏❤
Great job! You really have improved and your music sounds wonderful!
Moral:
You want to play it but you think that is it so hard and I can't play it.
But if you don't pick it up today so how can you expect yourself to play it tomorrow?
I think I struggle with reading now ;-;
EMP Official well said...
Sir Erectus III 😂😂😂😂😂
That's exactly what I'm thinking right now!!... but I'm still hesitating......
Zatzu Uy 1,2 or 3 years is going to come no matter what you do, might as well have something to show for it when the time does arrive. 👍
My god, thats 2 years progression of being self taught while starting as an adult. It took me like 7 years to get that good, I learnt the violin from age 5 and had private tuition every week. Incredible...
It's totally different. Adults will learn way quicker and that's because children don't focus as much. Many kids play because their parents want them to. All adults play because they really want to. And that makes a huge difference. You could be practicing for hours on end with no real progression of you're not really into it 100%
I am an adult too and I just started praying violin and I would like to know how she made it
@@vitorfernandes4428 that is so right! i played violin for 3 years as a kid (10 to 13) and at best i was maybe as her at 7months. I barely practised. I had 2-3 lessons a week, and i played at home only like 30-45mins once a week, plus i didn't give a shit as i wanted to play harp or piano and not violin, but my parent's couldn't afford these instruments.
motivation is a massive factor, and you still as an adult can become really really great in a couple of years no matter if you start in 20s 30s 40s or later.
So it is possible to be self taught! I've been told countless times I won't go anywhere with my violin without lessons but I mean I can barely afford a violin, we're in the middle of a pandemic so I'm determined to teach myself xD

Uma evolução maravilhosa, orgulho alheio parabéns!
Great job Girl! 💐
I loved seeing you progress in time on the Violin.
And you have a sweet smile too 💖
Bless you.
This is due to hard work and dedication. Being young is not necessary.
I'm sure it helps.
anime watcher, lindsey stirling fan, mario...fan, and Pirates of the Carribbean fan. Music tells so much.
Huh? I could tell the Mario bit and the Pirates of the Caribbean, but Stirling and anime? Which ones?
+Skinjacker she played some Lindsey sterling stuff and some songs from Fullmetal Alchemist which is an anime
Jolie Brooke Yes I was already quite aware. I recognized most if not all the tunes. Thank you though.
crap i commented on the wrong one.. srry
Malcolm we are soul mates
I have just shown this to my daughter to show her where she can be if she keeps practicing. Thanks so much for posting this!
Beautiful. And Mahalo for sharing your progress with us all. Love to see these toes of videos of musicians starting from the beginning and see their growth and, especially, the confidence.
Very cool to see you mature in your violin and physical growth too. It’s the same when I watched my sons and their musical growth.
I’ve mainly played Bass and piano. But wanted to take up an instrument that I don’t see many of my Hawaiian brothers and sisters here play much. It’s the more popular (and I’m sure, easier, to learn) ukulele and guitar that people will pick up to learn.
It was one reason I chose to learn the bass. I loved the sound from my youth. But when I realized they are always put in the back of the band…I wanted to learn it😁
But, I’ve always loved orchestral instruments. And especially the strings. But always thought I’d never be able to learn it. Any of them. But after watching one of my favorite tunes from one of the few 2K’s artists I really love to listen to, Taylor Swift’s “Lover” and her using an orchestra to do a different version of her song…I fell in love with the song all over again.
Then, seeing a few great covers of “Lover” with a 4-piece string quartet REALLY blew me away.
And, although I loved the viola in a few of them that had players using them…it came down to the cello and violins that I came to a point I wanted to learn to play one of the two. And the high notes of the violins of that Taylor Swift tune is what decision away and chose to attempt to learn that amazing instrument. With the goal to learn, among the many songs I’d love to learn, to learn “Lover” hopefully in time to play it to my future Soulmate 😁🎼🎶🎵🤘🏾
Again, Mahalo for sharing your journey. It has def’ added inspiration to my own path to learn.
Aloha and keep on playing!
🎼🎵🎶
I’m 24 and starting my first violin lesson next week. This has given me some inspiration :)
Ohw! Hey same here! :D

This is so awesome!! I'm 23 and I started 2 weeks ago. Although, I am learning the Carnatic style, which is an Indian Classical Style. Thanks for the inspiration guys :D

LIBERTY VITOCRUZ Itsa Mario!
I am so proud of you! I am 16 and I have been playing the violin for 7 years. This december makes 8. You are really good. just do not give up and you can play anything you put your mind to
I just picked up a violin and decided to start playing today! Good progression. I hope to be like this one day~
Well done Girl. I just bought a cello... wish me luck.

Thank you for posting this. You've inspired me to not give up.
Thank you for sharing this I just got a violin and I'm excited to start
I'm on day 2, this gives me hope 😂😭
Don't give up !!
What's the progress report? Cause I'm on day 2 today xD
TODAY IS MY DAY 2! I just learned twinkle twinkle little star!
@@tjgfth CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Week 2! I can do ode to joy and a couple of grade 1 pieces
I just started learning the violin. I also don't take classes and I just watch youtube videos. Thank you for inspiring me. I hope I become like you as I work hard and practice more.
Aubrey Ortega can you recommend good beginning videos to learn from . I just got my first violin today
Melanie Castillo same
Yes please recommend good beginner videos
Aubrey Ortega ive been inspired to play sense i was very litte. Only now in middle school and during the sumer have i played
Melanie Castillo hope you do great!
Inspirational video for any beginners out there who feel like giving up after the first week because they sound awful.
I feel so proud of you watching your progress
You learn to play second and third position in 2 years and I’m recently learning second position in 4 years of playing the violin, this is admirable...
Oof after 4 years you begin learning second position? I played 3rd position after 2 months of my violin lessons.
I left the violin for a year because of personal things, then started again in a music academy and they teach you second and third position songs after a year or 2 of learning violin.
@@dowonstar893 wow sad to hear this. That means they just prevent your progress to make sure you stay for a longer time learning violin. Really sad to hear this but also approving again that human are egoistic when its about money. Sry for my amateur english
Or a lie...
What is a position?
Wow this is amazing. That is not just practice, is talent and dedication. 3 or 4 more years and you can play at orchestral level.
Ha
Wow❤️
So encouraging to see how much effort you put into it and how your pitch improved overtime!
Bravissima✌️😋
This is inspirational. I'm 18 and i really wanna get good at an instrument, but i feel like i was too old to develop any serious reflexes...
Go for it! Violin is very hard and tedious to learn in the beggining. Its really hard to get a good tone on the violin. If you want to immediately be able to play something nice try the piano :).
And don't worry about age! At 18 your brain is still young, only half-developed :).
I just bought one yesterday
I'm turning 18 this december
Anyways, I have a question, I actually want to be self taught, will it be possible or a teacher would be a good option??
I Personally like the self teach one, so does anyone have any suggestion about the do's and donts?? And any recommendation for preliminary lessons??
Just for the information (Maybe it's unnecessary but still) :- I have total five years of experience in guitar(fingerstyle:- 3 yrs, first two yrs:- plectrum)
@@emancipatedconsciousness3512 Hi, cellist/ pianist/ former violinist here. Definitely don't try to teach yourself violin. It's very technique heavy and you need to have very good intonation, which can take time to build up so you need someone to correct you. If you learn bad technique, it can be hard to fix and will probably cause you harm. I self-taught myself piano for a bit because I could already read music and then got lessons so I started lessons at a higher level, but my teacher had to correct my technique.
Hey there, you can definitely develop musically as an adult. I started writing songs in my mid 20s :)
Do it ! Age has nothing to do with learning an instrument, it's only practice that counts. And in two years' time, you'll be playing it, whereas if you do nothing, in two years' time you'll be thinking "what the hell have I been doing all this time not trying to play it? It's too late for me now" and it's a never-ending loop ! So make sure you break it now ! I'm twenty and i'm learning piano and guitar for the first time ans it makes me so happy an proud of myself !!
