im glad someone's finally showing a realistic progress of learning an instrument. i would suggest that you try putting on tapes with your teacher as a guideline to work with intonation. your posture is good
As a violinist of almost 6 years, I’ll just say that your progress really is quite good, it took me a lot longer to get better with the bow, so keep up the good work👍
@Mike playing the violin is unusual in that it does take a long time to learn it. It takes even longer to master it. I have personally played it for seven years, and I would not say that I have mastered it. However, you are right in that you can make progress quickly, and it does not need to be highly drawn out.
I mean, it is a little sus. At the end her bow arm was pretty good and the position of the pinky was pretty much perfect, I know people that play for way more than 6 months and have a lot worse hand position.
Pretty interesting that you started by just doing pizz without the bow. This might be helpful for getting a first impression of how the fingers of the left hand have to be placed.
@@jazminnagy1695 you can’t go to fast just make sure your playing correctly. The violin is a extremely demanding instrument so don’t rush it or you might develop really bad habits.
As someone who’s been playing for a rough 11 years and is the daughter of a violin teacher, that’s actually really impressive progress, especially considering how bad violin always sounds when you first start out, it’s not an easy thing to start playing 😂 your bow hold is especially amazing to me I couldn’t hold the bow so well for a long, long, time after starting. You sound awesome keep practicing and have fun!
As a violinist, this makes me so happy! Make sure to practice bow holds, and (though it’s a bit controversial) I suggest getting some tapes for your 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers. Practice hitting pitches with those fingers and being on the tapes to train your ears and muscles!
@@CourtneyLucien Yep! There are many different ways to hold the bow; the way you’re doing it is one of the most widely used, but keep in mind that it’s okay to not be super ridged with it. I noticed that you seem a little tense with the bow, so make sure to relax your fingers! Your playing is beautiful for someone so early into their journey, I’m almost jealous! Keep it up
Thank you for this!!! Yes, tension is common for me -- always working to relax more. I'm excited to keep progressing now - it's pretty cool to have people cheering me on from afar!! :)
that's super cool! you improved so so fast and seemed really enthusiastic and that makes my heart happy because i am a violist. although not a violinist i understand how cool it is to learn an instrument💜 i wish you the best of luck with your musical endeavours!
Thank you!! I've always loved the violin, so it's exciting to finally start to learn it!! It's SO difficult, though...but your encouragement makes me feel motivated to keep going! :)
It's great to see how you show the reality of playing the violin because when people play it, it sounds beautiful but to make it beautiful you start by going from plucking the strings to using the bow for the first time
Thank you! I have recently taken a few months off...which saddens me, because I do love it. Your comment is inspiring me to go back to it!! I'm a year into it now - I can't stop!!
You're posture is so good! Nice job. Try experimenting with how fast you move your bow to see how that changes the sound. You could also try moving where you place the bow between the finger board and bridge
I started playing my viola during virtual school and it was hard for me to pick up on, I even thought about quitting after fifth grade but I’ve been playing it for the past four years, and I love it so much and now in an orchestra that’s for my entire state. I’m proud of how far I’ve come❤ to anyone who read this keep up what you love no matter how hard it gets
I’ve been playing since I was 5 as of since I posted this comment I’m 13 turning 14 on Feb 1. I’m in three orchestras and I’m learning ruclips.net/video/NBvjFhwCZAE/видео.html as a private lesson piece.
Reminder that beginner progression depends on a lot of things, including time spent practicing, quality of practice, prior musical experience, age and hand-eye coordination. Take it slow :)
Good for you on picking up a new skill in these trying times! If you keep working, I’m sure you’ll get far. I’ve been playing the violin for three years now, and I can say it has been worth some of the long hours of practice. Keep up the good work and go practice!
Why is she playing La Cygne at 1 month wot Also, good job. For a beginner you have great bow control and form. I would recommend trying to relax a little more and start trying vibrato. Look up some videos for help And you should totally watch twoset violin for fun and for the occasional music theory you’ll learn. Edited because I can’t stand not being able to tell music apart.
Thank you! I'd love to learn vibrato soon. I picked up both meditation and swan because I love the songs...but I knew they were above my skillset at first. Since this video I've played the swan hundreds of times! and it gets better every time :)
Glad to see another starting musician from the Covid times! I started learning the cello in the fall of 2021 and have been loving it since then. String instruments are so enchanting and I can definitely relate to the sheer joy of playing an open string with the bow for the first time
I started playing violin last year (about 11 months ago) and I love it so much ❤ I do it every day at school, I have lessons Wednesdays, and I am also taking a youth orchestra at my school mondays. Music was required year 6 and I chose orchestra and violin and I’m doing it next year (7th) too even though it’s not required. It’s my favorite class. When I grow up I want to do it professionally. I also play piano too and have been for 6 years
I play the cello and wish to also learn violin. I love seeing the different way the instruments work and how different people teach. This gives me a boost of confidence to try violin!
I’m glad to see some realistic learning standards!! I’ve been playing violin for around 5-6 years and it still can take months for me to get a song down.
this gave me inspiration to try my dream of playing violin still in my twenties. i've always felt like to be a major you should start from a very young age, you prove me i was wrong. Age is just a number. thank you, and keep the work!
I gotta say I’ve been playing and practicing violin for almost 9 years now, and this is one of the most impressive things. Teaching yourself an instrument is one of the hardest things in the world. More power to you. That’s an amazing thing to be proud of. Violin is hard to learn to. Amazing job
As a violinist of 4 years this is really good for the first few months. I didn't get to play with my bow until the end of my first year. And you advancing at a very fast pace! Id be interested in hearing a cover of a song or a original! Very good!!
as someone who’s been playing for 9 years- most of my life, you were playing very well in tune even from the first week, and it took me forever when i started learning to start getting my fourth finger in tune, great job! i’m sure you practice a lot to progress that fast, you are so talented!
This is so amazing to see!! Ive been playing for 10 years now, and this brought back so much nostalgia. I started with pizz too! You're doing wonderful, keep up the hard work ^^
As someone who’s been playing the violin for around five years now you’re doing great keep it up I’d also recommend putting tapes where the fingerings are as that can help keep the notes in tune
As a beginner violist who takes lessons at school, your improving pretty fast! I was barely able to switch from first finger to d in my first week, if you don’t have essential elements, i reccomend to buy one of those. I’d also recommend to play with the hair flat on the strings
This is honestly refreshing. People only ever see other people being instantly good at something, and never all the intermediate steps between starting and being good. I always gave up on learning instruments because I never had a natural talent for it, but now I'm rethinking that. Maybe it's worth a shot, and a hell of a lot of patience.
I subbed because I'm also a newbie in violin, it has been only 6 months so far! I am looking forward to seeing more update from you as we learn this instrument together❤
As someone who is a violinist of 3 years (I've been playing since 3rd Grade) she made a LOT of progress for a beginner. Can't wait to see you grow in it. The violin is one of the most beautiful instruments ever I hope you stick with it ❤
I love seeing how many musicians on here are genuinely surprised by your progress. It's really nice to see positive reactions to someone first starting out on something new instead of more experienced people trying to criticize and critique everything. You're doing great!
I have been playing the violin for about 4 years and it’s gotten tough at times, considering that everyone around me is pushing me to my limits, especially my parents. I feel like the beginning stages of starting to play the violin was the most memorable, and the final moment I play will also be the most memorable. I hope to keep playing and I promise to myself that I will try hard. You definitely have potential to be great. ❤
I’ve been playing the violin for almost 4 years, and I gotta be honest, it’s hard at first, but I promise you’ll get the hang of everything and be great ! You’re already doing really well too !! You’re progressing faster than I did when I started playing, so good job !!

But she doesn’t have a teacher-

@@Snowy-oq4ur what made you think that?

Thank you! I hope you’re still enjoying playing!!! I can’t wait to say I’m “a violinist of 6 yrs” - sounds epic. 🤩
I've been playing for 7 years, completely agree!

Same
I hope Twoset sees this!! We finally have some GOOD REALISTIC PROGRESS from a musician that GENUINELY ENJOYS PLAYING👏
Thanks!! That’d be amazing!!
Pretty interesting that you started by just doing pizz without the bow. This might be helpful for getting a first impression of how the fingers of the left hand have to be placed.
Yeah I think it helped! :)
In school my teacher taught me like that. They do that in concert Orchestras but I'm they advanced one so you start bowing there
My teacher only let me pizz for the first half year, didn’t even teach me how to hold the bow. 😅
@@yuluvii same!
actually this is how most people are taught in school
@TwoSetViolin it’d be great if you could react! Give this person some good encouragement to keep going on her violin journey. You’re doing amazing!!
Yess, agreed! ^^ And they are doing great, 100%!
She trained by ling ling
Lmk when it's on ll40hrs, I'll upvote.
Oo I'd love it if they saw this!!! :) But thank YOU for your encouragement - I really appreciate it!!!
Thank you!!
I've been playing the violin 8 years and I didn't improve as fast as you, you are doing great!!
Oh thank you!! I really appreciate the encouragement. It's such a difficult instrument!
@@CourtneyLucien It really is but with effort, patience and practice you will see the results (I don't know if I said it correctly)
Yes, I totally agree!! :) I'm excited to keep getting better!
Same, it took me a whole year to learn twinkle twinkle little star lol
I’m at 8 years as well! I’m still garbage at playing, but I want to make my old instructor proud, so I’ll keep it up!
I already started bowing since my first days without pizzicato or anything like that and now I feel like I’m going too fast lol
@Wallie lol me too I'm at fourth lesson and my teacher started giving me vibrato exercises XD
I started with the bowing in the first day too, but my teacher make me do the pizzicato then the bowing
Im going fast too. I started to learn the violin 3 and a half months ago and now I can play minuet in g from bach lol
@@jazminnagy1695 you can’t go to fast just make sure your playing correctly. The violin is a extremely demanding instrument so don’t rush it or you might develop really bad habits.
I’ve been a violinist for 8 years, and I used the bow first too. I liked it better 🤷♀️ nothing wrong with it
I love watching the masters play, but there's something special about watching beginners learn, and the first sounds they create.
As someone who’s been playing for a rough 11 years and is the daughter of a violin teacher, that’s actually really impressive progress, especially considering how bad violin always sounds when you first start out, it’s not an easy thing to start playing 😂 your bow hold is especially amazing to me I couldn’t hold the bow so well for a long, long, time after starting.

But you gotta give her credit on the straight bow.
This is my 8th year playing violin and I’m in 3 orchestras.
@@benjaminlewis5057 Definitely! I was very impressed with that. I had trouble with a straight bow for years
Thanks!! I do have tapes on the fingers, but need to be more accurate. Re: bow holds- are you suggesting trying different ones?
@@CourtneyLucien Yep! There are many different ways to hold the bow; the way you’re doing it is one of the most widely used, but keep in mind that it’s okay to not be super ridged with it.
I noticed that you seem a little tense with the bow, so make sure to relax your fingers!
Your playing is beautiful for someone so early into their journey, I’m almost jealous! Keep it up
Thank you for this!!! Yes, tension is common for me -- always working to relax more. I'm excited to keep progressing now - it's pretty cool to have people cheering me on from afar!! :)

-violinist of 4 years :)
Excellent posture I must say, I regret not valuing it as much as I do now back in the day
i’ve been playing the violin since i was 6 and this is really good i love how you just are so positive. violin can be really frustrating sometimes
You are a natural!!
Oh thank you!!!
You're doing great! I hope you enjoy the violin for many more years to come!
Thank you! I have recently taken a few months off...which saddens me, because I do love it. Your comment is inspiring me to go back to it!! I'm a year into it now - I can't stop!!
No, don't stop!!!
As a violinist for 11 years (im 13) you are doing great lucky u have motivation
You're posture is so good! Nice job.
Try experimenting with how fast you move your bow to see how that changes the sound. You could also try moving where you place the bow between the finger board and bridge
Thanks!! I appreciate the tip!!
Nice job paying attention to technique! As a violin teacher, this is really pleasing, so many adults ignore technique.
In the 6 month your haircut is amazing! ❤
That’s so cool! I loved how apps you were when you got a clean sound from the violin in 1 Week :) so wholesome
lol I WAS very excited :D
@@CourtneyLucien Haha that was clear :) But good job!

My teacher taught me how to bow since my very first lesson. Now I’ve been playing for three months and I already played Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles
where's the sheet music???????
@@noneofyourbusiness420 you can find it online or RUclips tutorial

well said :) slow is the way to go!
Your intonation and sound is really great for just 6 months!!! Keep on practicing consistently and thoughtfully and you could do so so much!!
as a violinist who had played for 1 seconds. This is very good!

Oh i love this! Finally someone showing reality. I feel less bad and totally normal sounding like a what I am, a beginner. 🙏
I've been playing the violin for 4 1/2 years and you are on the path to greatness you already sound so Good and you will get amazing.
As a cellist I'm in love with this short- please keep going you'll be a wonderful violinist!
I did this with the piano during COVID quarantine! This is so cool! Love the evolution of the skill.
Great to see the honesty in these progressions
it’s the consistency for me!!!! THIS HABIT BUILDING IS THE MOST IMPRESSIVE PART OF THIS. YOU GO ROYAL!!! im rooting for you!!!! HELL YEAH!!
Wow thank you!!!! ❤️😍❤️😍
This brought so many memories of when I started playing 4 years ago.

Most accurate one I've seen till now...
Keep going.. 👏👏👏

How is i this good. You made me realize were i used to be and i now am at my 4th year. Its a great instrument
Essential Elements!!! You can recognize it anywhere!
Such a remarkable violin sound evolution! Congratulations 😊

Inspired!Amazing Determination,and progress!
Thank you for the encouragement 🥰🥰 oh myyy i want to learn again and do what i love 🥰🥰🥰
intonation and musicality genuinely just come with practice and dedication. keep it up! you're doing great!
You're doing amazing so far! Keep it up!
Your progress really shows and it's impressive to see how you better yourself through time
I’ve played violin for over 7 years now and I say good job!! You’re doing great
Your technique and posture is absolutely wonderful! You look like you've been at it a lot longer!
You just encourage me to give my violin another chance thank you :)
Yes! I’m cheering you on!!

I’m glad to see some realistic learning standards!! I’ve been playing violin for around 5-6 years and it still can take months for me to get a song down.

I wish I can learn instrument too, looks amazing 😍👏👏
Keep going!! I'm cheering you from afar 🥺💞
The swan is my favorite song!!! I love hearing it, and playing it on my cello.
Though it may not seem like it to you, you have made really fast progress!
This is so amazing to see!! Ive been playing for 10 years now, and this brought back so much nostalgia. I started with pizz too! You're doing wonderful, keep up the hard work ^^
that perfect pitch!! im so glad of you ❤
As someone who’s been playing the violin for around five years now you’re doing great keep it up I’d also recommend putting tapes where the fingerings are as that can help keep the notes in tune
i just peeled off my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tapes😅
I’m super glad that there’s actually a real one of these out there!
I really love this because you can see a huge improvement, but it's realistic. Set other ppl up for success with realistic expectations

As a beginner violist who takes lessons at school, your improving pretty fast! I was barely able to switch from first finger to d in my first week, if you don’t have essential elements, i reccomend to buy one of those. I’d also recommend to play with the hair flat on the strings

This is actually alot faster than most progress. Good work lol

Keep fighting! You're clearly talented for this stuff! And I've been playing for 9 years so I should know!
Oh wow!! This truly gives me motivation to keep going - and I needed it! Thank you!
As someone who's been playing for 4-5 years, this is actually really good progress! And I also love how accurate this is-

Girl I feel you!!! I went through all that in my years of playing.
Keep up the good work!!!
Its so nice to see beginners over the age of -3. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!! :)
The fact that you grown so much over the year you’ve played.
