Watching violin progress video is what make me start learning. Great to see so much progress. "You have to learn the violin when you are a small child" is such a big lie. Thanks for sharing your videos

*".. .when you want to become a professional violinist" You can start anything as an adult and be very good at it. But professionals have to start earlier because there are such percise improvements that a lot of people can't even hear. And of course the concurrence: I think it's nearly impossible to get better at anything as an adult beginner than a person who started as a child and ptacticed the same amount of hours a day or even a little less. Also, he is really really good. Most people improve so much slower.
well...it's not a lie. If you want to be a professional classical musician, then you certainly have to learn it at a very very young age. But if you just want to be an amateur musician playing for fun, it's never too late.
@@ellenqian3179 what you said is 100% false. The human brain doesn't work that way, it's like Language, sure it's easier with a baby sponge brain to absorb all the information however, it by no means, means that you cannot learn a language at an older age, my dad is 56 and has spent the last 4 years learning German and has just got his Degree in German Language... so yeah, completely false. What holds you or anyone back is their attitude, attitudes like the one you appear to have. Have more faith in yourself. We can do everything children can do, it just take longer.
just to warn you: for those that are here watching and thinking this is the "usual" progress - it is not! Even for children! Either this man has experience with instruments before, he practices for hours every day or he is exceptionally talented (and it might very well be all of these combined!) So please don't feel like you can't do this if you didn't make as much progress - for most people this takes much longer! Just wanted to add this as I know for some watching videos like these can feel discouraging, especially if you compare his progress to your own progress. Also, some will get unrealistic expectations of what it takes to learn the violin - because for most, it is much harder than practicing 3 years and being able to more or less play Czardas. to the creator: great job of course and I am very happy for you that you have learned so much in this short amount of time! :)
Yeah, isn't it so amazing how he was able to gain SUCH a great understanding of how the instrument works just by watching TH-cam? Just LOOK at that Czardas - he almost has a Sautille! He probably has a very organized mind as much of learning how to play the violin is learning the process of practicing and improving things - thinking logically! This guy has to be one of the most talented people I've ever come across. I've been taking lessons for 1.5 years and believe me, I certainly didn't think this was typical progress!
From the the 2ed week I could see he has a very good memory t Compared to mine . Yet I didn't think he progressed well enough for two years . 2years and 4 months he was getting his stuff together. But I'm disappointed to hear the commentors warnings that he is exceptional in playing that gypsy piece . You all mean that it would take 4 years to get that good? That busts my bubble. And I appreciate you all's warning
This is really impressive. His bow is surprisingly good since he has only been playing for 3 years! Just a tip though, maybe practice more scales and technical work instead of just pieces because that way when it comes to actually playing pieces it will seem a lot easier and will sound so much better. I can definitely recommend Kreutzer’s 42 etudes for studies, they’re really helpful. But this is seriously impressive and inspiring. I can tell that he worked really hard to get this far in such a short time.
@Kay D3333 It's probably the way your fingers move and how your arm weight sits into the bow. I'm not a professional so I'd recommend speaking to a teacher about it. But I can say that Kreutzer's 6th and 7th Etudes played at the frog can be very useful exercises for you.
Anyone came here hoping you can play like him in 2 years. The truth is no, especially if you're self-learning. This guy must know how to play another instrument before or must play violin more than 2 years or must be a prodigy. Even when you play violin for 12 hours per day, you couldn't reach this level unless you're very talented and have been gifted in music.
One thing I can say, not just for violin any instrument if you loved it that much and were willing to make a deliberate not wasteful practice because this count deliberate practice, and try to understand the instrument it may take you 5 years what took someone 2 years but if you understood your instrument you will even surprise yourself And please don’t be discouraged, love your instrument and work smart not hard. Archer is a very dedicated person you can see his love for violin in his playing.
Frankly, I’m amazed at how good your intonation was even a very few months into this video - most beginning students are still way off correct patch for the first year or more.
If you really want to become a professional violinist player, then you can start as an adult and keep practicing for years and someday you will make it. Don't let people tell you how far you can go.
When you think about it, very few children reach this level in three years. I mean VERY few. So, if you keep on practicing, you'll be really amazing in the end
wow, I've been playing for 1 year and 5 months. First year self taught, and I've been taking 45 min weekly lessons for the last 5 months. I'm astounded by your progress, specially, as someone said already, from 6.07 to 6.32, but you had very good intonation from the early beginning. nice video :)
You seem to have the right habits. Doing slow movements in the beginning of your journey and going faster later on. Compared to other progress videos I've seen you are a maestro. Rock on!
I love that you focused on your intonation from the beginning. That's why it's so good. The bowing and the fact it's mainly in tune. Everything else can be perfected later. You also seem to have natural dexterity. Very inspiring as a 54 year old beginner.
Well done, sir! You're very talented especially considering that mostly you have learnt all of it by yourself! I can only imagine how much better you would be having a teacher with you all the time! But it only gives hope to all those people who for various reasons don't want/ can't have teacher! It IS possible to learn violin on your own! Keep up the good work :) greetings from a fellow adult violin student :)
Evolution to my emotions: + I can not stop laughing! but it's so fun ... ++ Look, I still laugh, but I like it ... +++ I'm starting to feel something, what will it be? ++++ I laugh and feel emotion ... it's so sweet! +++++ My tears begin to fall, I happy and I am very proud of you, thx so much, you are a nice guy :")
I got 7 years violin classes,though i`m child in those times so i had not any interest of this instrument but now i`m go in for. And your video best motivated progress video i`v ever seen .Good job!
You're good. I've been playing since March 2019, about two and a half months. Within one month I was playing about two dozen pop tunes, but still have plenty of scratching and coordination problems. Your sound quality was excellent from the outset for a beginner, really good control. I just bought two bluegrass books to learn which should give me good exercise on fast fiddling and a better ear for improvising around simple melodies. At 23, you can easily become good enough to make money with your instrument. Good luck.
Super inspiring I’m also a masters student at the moment and have been wanting to pick up violin. I know I will only be able to practice on my own for now . Possibly during the summer I could take lessons.
Wow, I am so impressed with your Csardash!!!! I've been trying to learn the quick part for a year now and still cannot play it this good! Enjoyed watching your progress a LOT! Subscribed :-)
Very good job! you know what.?I have been watching your progress videos in other website quite a while. you're a great inspiration to me, anyway keep up the great work!
1 to 2 hours a day practice is something I can't put in as i have a full time job, family and other commitments in my late 40s. I get at best 6 hours a week and usually about 4 hours only , excluding the 45 min lesson itself. Practice usually comprises 30 mins here and there added together. After 2 years 3 months I just started the grade 5 exam pieces, I do not master each piece for each grade but follow my teacher's pace,. I don't take the exams. I am not close to your standard, at least in terms of bow control in the czardas or intonation.
Inspiring video. I’ve been a pianist for 30 years and love it but would like to try learning a new instrument now at age 40. I did play violin for several years in school as a teenager but was never very good. Perhaps it’s time to pick it up again. I was thinking the cello would be nice to try but I have very small hands, so likely not the best choice.
Your perseverance and enthusiasm have helped you and I can see how much you have improved at the end of three years! Well done and thank you for sharing your violin journey.
Great progress! Very happy for you! I plan to start too . I am older and plan to start with my 4 year old daughter so we can learn together. Have a wonderful day.
I got my first violin in late 2021. I have a lot of mental health kisses that can make me lose any faith that I'll learn the instrument. I watch these types of videos. To e courage myself to practice some. And they Def help. I even posted a video of me playing on tiktok. To kinda document my journey,
I am also an adult learner. I played folk violin but am now training classically. It’s a world of different. I really like the Barbara Berber scale book and the Flesch scales. My teacher also just started me on Sevcik. Those book really bring the technique along.
Pretty good for about 3 years, At the 8 months point I could see some VIBRATO pretty good vibrato for a beginner. But as a violinist or a violist there are 2 different types of vibrato.1st one is WRIST vibrato, Wrist vibrato is for like fast songs,2nd one is ARM vibrato, arm vibrato is for slow songs and you move with your whole arm. But over all not bad.
wow!!!! honestly, so good..i got my violin 3 years ago but all together ive been practicing for around 2 years...ive taken breaks due to working a lot...now im a college student and i hope to be able to practice more and ive already started practicing pretty much every day as much as possible...good luck to us xD
at the very beginning I was impressed with the Christmas song... at 1 and 2 wks I was learning hot cross buns! You MUST have had lessons in a stringed instrument as a child.
This is impressive. I am like at your 3 months after 3 years ... （injury sucks half of my time away and I had to relearn from scratch). Can you release a video on how to maintain a straight bow because your Bowing is very straight
heyy love it! such an inspirational!!!! Would you mind to give us some tips and how to study by yourself? are there any particular videos or articles that you follow, etc?
you can see he was practicing 40 hours a day
#lingling40hours
Lol.. true :3
It's only 24 hours in a day! Thank you for this video. I don't like to practice, but if you don't practice, you will not get good at the violin.

@ i would say it depends. if you are a musician to begin with its alot easier. you allready developed alot of the skills necessary.

Completely agree, to make this fast progress, you have to practice really really hard and be talented at the same time.
@@vibratoqueen450 I have been playing for about 3-4 years now in high school, and I can't come close to his Czardas. I have tried and failed...
I bet he is very smart indeed!
From the the 2ed week I could see he has a very good memory t

Andrew Nguyen that’s my plan, mid forties 🙂
I just started in my late 40's I played guitar for 30 years I guess i just want to pick up another instrument!? but I am really enjoying it so far
How did it go?

You got a pretty good vibrato in only 8 months. I've been playing 2 years and I cant even begin to make any sort of vibrato.
it took me 3 years lol and it still sounds like a fly buzzing
I've been playing for eight years and my vibrato is s*** haha, so don't worry
Its ok i learned vibrato in 2nd year of music school
Frankly, I’m amazed at how good your intonation was even a very few months into this video - most beginning students are still way off correct patch for the first year or more.

many thanks! that means a lot!
Thank you for this
One of the first "progress" videos I've seen that seems genuine, accurate and doesn't belittle hard work and practice. Well done!!
Amazing!
I'm almost 29 and this gave me inspiration to start playing.
Thanks for sharing
Dude, we started at almost the same time and I'm self-taught, too. You kick ass. Keep it up.
When you think about it, very few children reach this level in three years. I mean VERY few. So, if you keep on practicing, you'll be really amazing in the end
6:07 to 6:32 is very hard to do
Wow man
whats that song?
@@danishazly Csardas:)))
Danish Shazly czardas by v. monti
What song is that before 6:07
ITS NOT A SONG
Wow, you are a lot better than I thought at 3 years! You must’ve had a great teacher!
hes mostly self taught
wow, I've been playing for 1 year and 5 months. First year self taught, and I've been taking 45 min weekly lessons for the last 5 months. I'm astounded by your progress, specially, as someone said already, from 6.07 to 6.32, but you had very good intonation from the early beginning. nice video :)

man. As a 35 year old with a viola sitting in its case I needed to see this. Thank yoooooou sooooooo much.
I love that you focused on your intonation from the beginning. That's why it's so good. The bowing and the fact it's mainly in tune. Everything else can be perfected later. You also seem to have natural dexterity. Very inspiring as a 54 year old beginner.
i just started relearning and im 27, you've just motivated me to keep practising thank you
Everything is possible , when you believe in yourself, thank you
Man, incredible progress. What an inspiration. Congratulations
Pocahontas on month 8.... ok you convinced me

And tone

What's a master's student?
thank you for posting this, gives hope to us adult beginners who want to pick up violin
Wow, I am so impressed with your Csardash!!!! I've been trying to learn the quick part for a year now and still cannot play it this good! Enjoyed watching your progress a LOT! Subscribed :-)
In 10 months, you could play Schindler's List Theme and able to shift. And in 2 years, you could play Rondo Alla Turca. That's nice!
Your dedication is inspiring!
Very good job! you know what.?I have been watching your progress videos in other website quite a while. you're a great inspiration to me, anyway keep up the great work!

Outstanding! Best regards from Brazil. On the last part of the video by chance do you play another violin?
That gave me lots of hope and motivation to carry on with my violin as an adult. Tnx
Keep up with practice! cheers~
I'm late musician too. Recognizing myself in you. Playing violin 10 years already.
I learned vibrato at the middle of year three (what I’m on now) and I still can’t vibrate good on the violin
You are really talented. you grow up your skills very fast. Congratulations
I'm crying the end of the video. Nice job. Congratulations.
Krueger definitely
May I suggest practicing with no thumb to loosen your bow hold
This gives me so much hope! I started in January of last year and I'm 30! Thank you for sharing!
This was really amazing and encouraging to watch!
Blissfully Annieka glad you like it ：-）
Your perseverance and enthusiasm have helped you and I can see how much you have improved at the end of three years! Well done and thank you for sharing your violin journey.
Great progress! Very happy for you! I plan to start too . I am older and plan to start with my 4 year old daughter so we can learn together. Have a wonderful day.
Omg the robotic vibrato issue was so relatable 😂

That's a really fast learning. In 3 days he attempted to play Silent Night in one of the most difficult music instrument to learn. Wow.
Watching other progress videos and YO! This man's tone! Even right in the beginning it was so pretty.
I am also an adult learner. I played folk violin but am now training classically. It’s a world of different. I really like the Barbara Berber scale book and the Flesch scales. My teacher also just started me on Sevcik. Those book really bring the technique along.
Starts practicing Christmas songs 6 months early. Crap! There goes Christmas! Welcome to violin!
Wow.. this was great... I started and stopped. But I want to start it again..
I'm 30 and about into learning. Can't wait to actually make music.
Can you kindly post the music list that you played in those clips? Thanks!

I started playing violin a month ago. thanks for posting
wow!!!! honestly, so good..i got my violin 3 years ago but all together ive been practicing for around 2 years...ive taken breaks due to working a lot...now im a college student and i hope to be able to practice more and ive already started practicing pretty much every day as much as possible...good luck to us xD
Beautiful I’m so inspired!
I'm just gonna download piano tiles 2 and start with the songs you start on the game

Great job! I am starting out as well and some days are good and others, frustrating. Impressive!
Wow. Great job!!!
I started in 6th grade, now I’m at the end of 8th grade
Same for me
Man you inspire us. Very good progress. Hope you will have an awesome future as a violinist.

Great Progress - very inspirational !!!!
Your video makes me want to succeed like you did !!!!
Props to you man that's absolutely amazing. You are so much better than me and I've been playing for 6 years
holy hell that was amazing!
Wow u learned 3rd position after 10 months... ive been playing for 1 years and 5 months and still havent learned 3rd position
So good! Mind if I ask what pieces you played all throughout the progress video? Thanks:)
at the very beginning I was impressed with the Christmas song... at 1 and 2 wks I was learning hot cross buns! You MUST have had lessons in a stringed instrument as a child.
Amazing bro keep going to do great things
Wow! That's some impressive progress! 🥰👏
Good for you! Good luck in the future ^_^
Wow! Great progress in such a short time. Keep at it! I'm hoping I learn that quickly.
Your video is very inspiring! Thanks for sharing it.
Very inspirational!
So inspiring. Thank you for sharing your video!
Respect.
wow, every time I feel tired of practice, I'll come and check this video.
It encourage me a lot man, LOL
Very very impressive 🎻❤🌻
This is impressive. I am like at your 3 months after 3 years ... （injury sucks half of my time away and I had to relearn from scratch). Can you release a video on how to maintain a straight bow because your Bowing is very straight
in the beginning I watched my bow going through all the time, then I focus on the stable tone, you will finally make it!
Good job!!!! Really nice progress!
heyy love it! such an inspirational!!!!
Would you mind to give us some tips and how to study by yourself? are there any particular videos or articles that you follow, etc?
Wow! You're amazing. Just starting my own journey as an adult learning the violin, i hope I become as good as you.
Keep it up and you definitely will be better! : D
