Violin Playing Videos

I have now almost reached a year of taking violin lessons. Phil took a few videos while I was practicing today from his phone and I got them uploaded tonight. Merry Christmas everyone. I hope to have better videos next year.

This first one is Rosin, the Beau (Ireland) or Acres of Clams (US)



This one is Ashokan Farewell

    I am always just so enamored of watching people play a musical instrument and violin is one of my faves. I have tried, took piano, didn't get it, took guitar, didn't get it, took flute and didn't get it. I think you have to be born with some predispostion to understand music. Beautifully done, keep up the good work!

    And Merry Christmas to you and your family!!

      Playing an instrument is a very LONG term goal. It takes about 5 years just to learn to play the violin--then more to sound really good.

    Hi Becky,Merry Christmas to you and faamily. Sound like an up and coming violinist. I tried it and got bored with it just after 3 weeks. I do like a good violin concert.

      As I said above, as long as you understand that it is going to take a very long time, you don't get frustrated so fast. I also have wanted to be able to play violin again for a very long time, I think that keeps me motivated too. That and the fact that I just plain love it.

    I'll be thinking of you tonight as I watch Andre Rieu on TV! (If you don't know who he is, look him up...)
    Well done for sticking with it!

      I am not sure I would call my playing beautiful just yet, lol, but it is getting there. I will say this though, my appreciation for all types of music has definitely increased.
