What is amazing is where her mind is at. She isn't just staring at the wall. Her eyes may be open, and she may be looking at something, but I would bet her mind is focused on getting everything right, even if she isn't directly thinking about it.

Same girl recorded Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with RTE Concert Orchestra (second biggest orchestra in Ireland for those of you not from here!) a year or two ago, so yes she can do classical!
She's playing, and based on her "hand structure" she's got a very relaxed technique which is required for fiddling that fast. I play Irish fiddle music, and have for over a decade.

ciaranalgar Listen to what this guy has to say; or better yet, click on his channel and watch him playing! Great musician in his own right. Recognized the name having seen some of his stuff on TH-cam over the years.
I've been playing the violin for over 50 years, so I win! There may be a little error in the video synchronization, but her hand motions track the minor bending of the rhythms precisely, so 'lip syncing', or whatever you would call it in an instrumental, just doesn't seem feasible, imho.
My goodness...you make playing the violin look as easy (for you) as breathing! You are incredible. I really like the way you just started smiling part way through, showing you're really enjoying yourself. I hope you continue on...you should have a very promising future ahead of you!
I am pretty sure, although not %100, this is a very young Tatiana Hargreaves, by far and away one of the greatest Irish and Folk Fiddlers around. She often plays with Bruce Molsky, another great. She also teaches Mountain Fiddle at North Carolina U.
Just to clear things up this girl has almost PERFECT form, her wrist is loose, relaxed just as it should be especially for fast playing. heehee she makes the same face as me when she plays!
Why is it so hard for this comment section to get that SHE is Irish 🍀, it says nothing about the song being Irish. It seems some people need to take comprehension class again.
This tune is the Calgary Polka by a great fiddler called Mark O'Connor.
Hope that helps!

Natural talent for her......but is is BORED to tears. :(
It does not matter how she holds the violin, what she is playing comes from the heart and that's what matters.
She is as beautiful as her melody !
I love her face.... It's like she's saying "This is nothing"
She is soooooooo amazing!!
Talk about effortless! Nothing but respect and admiration for the violinist
Rick D not a violinists, thats a fiddler
DIfference b/w violin and fiddle...?
Severus Snape - you can’t spill beer on a violin.
@@severussnape8349bout 4 grand
WOW... jaw is open..... she is freaking good....
now that's effortless, she's not even trying

She is both amazing and adorable. What a fantastic performance.
I think is the same girl I played with few years ago in Italy.... she is really great! ;) well done!!! ;)

In a nut shell - Awesome
This young lady has won several 'All-Ireland' fiddle contests. I really don't think she needs "someone or something else" playing for her :)
dude. as a fellow violin player...she is awesome :)
We wrote a little about young Ms. Hickey today on Bubblegum Post. Love her playing. Much success to her!!
I must say, I am ENVIOUS! If I could only play like that...what talent!
Very good and such a pretty little girl, keep up the good work.
Irish music, and Irish culture generally, is in bloody good hands!

Muito Bom, Eu toco Violino e gosto Tanto da Cultura Irlandesa
Algumas músicas tradicionais procuro pauta e não encontro

it's called skill... I understand... we all wish we had that much too...
WOW! That deserves a standing ovation! :D She was so great! loved it.
I know this girl, and I can tell you that you're wrong. Even if you've played violin for 10 years, she could teach you more than you could imagine.

her skill matches her beauty
The look on her face that says "Yeah! You know I'm rocking this shit!"

Brilliant! A very talented young lady, I would think that you and Annie Stananich could put something together that would be very entertaining.
As an Irish fiddler who plays in the pub she is definitely gonna go far and I’m 18
Beautiful, talented, cool, ... in one word: awesome!
I'm a violinist of 15 years, 5 professionally, she's definitely playing
She played it as beautiful as she is❤️
My goodness...you make playing the violin look as easy (for you) as breathing! You are incredible. I really like the way you just started smiling part way through, showing you're really enjoying yourself. I hope you continue on...you should have a very promising future ahead of you!
Holy crap!!!! I couldn't play that slowly if my life depended on it! Amazing!!!!!!!

Muscle memory. Basically, when you practice enough, your fingers eventually go into ‘autopilot.’ It takes a loooonnggg time and hours of dedication.
she is absolutely amazinggg

Mairead is amazing. Just learned about her i-pad app (Irish Fiddler on i-tunes) teaching fiddle and tried it yesterday. Check it out!

How class is this? She doesn't even look like she's trying. What a gem
She's beautiful
Amazing. Young lady you are an impressive human being.
