    You are absolutely right! I asked my uncle many years ago because I really didn't know. He's played the fiddle all his life! He said it's just a violin that's played in a certain style of music! I totally agree, people should do a little research before commenting!

    She is amazing. I'm thirteen, and I have been playing the Viola for two years. I can only hope to become as good as she is! Great job!

    GO FOR IT.I teach both "violin" and "Fiddle" lessons.
    last month I got a new student. joe is 73 and decided to take up fiddle. He's become one of my best students.
    it's not that classical is too difficult it's just a much bigger challenge to start as an adult because it requires a lot more academics (reading music, for example)
    but the two DO cross in many places. and either way you go, it can't hurt to have a good ear ;)
    I wish you the best

    All this talk about "proper" i had to say one thing....
    I spent almost 25 years learning to play "properly" and the last 2 learning how to throw that out the window and SAW A FIDDLE....
    there aint no right or wrong, WE humans made up the RULES for violin.... but this aint violin... this is fiddle, and this girl has all my respect in the world!
    from one "fiddler" to another
    great job !

  • @JustAnotherBeth
    @JustAnotherBeth 16 лет назад

    forgot to add...I grew up in clasical violin, and after college (1995) hardly ever wanted to play.
    years of screaming PRACTICE...
    competitions... pressure, and I was raised in New york, where violin is fierce competition!
    Last year (2007) I joined a bluegrass band... not knowing what the heck I was doing. Now you couldnt PAY ME to stop, AND my band has won awards all over Texas, because we LOVE to play! That is what makes the magic!

    Fantastic! Great job Laura.
    Hey Quincy....jealous much!
    Fact is, some of the greatest Irish and Bluegrass fiddle players in history are self-taught and have the most unorthodox way of holding their instruments. I`ve seen Irish fiddlers play the fiddle on their lap and rip off some of the best fiddle music ever heard.
    Doesn`t matter how you get the job done, as long as you get it done well....and she gets the job done well.

    Very Good! Her bow is a little too far over the fingerboard, but I attribut that to the length of her arms and not being able to bend her elbow so the bow is between the fingerboard and the bridge...yet. But that will change as she gets older.

    Nana, sogar Kleinkinder nehmen es schon wahr und genießen es, bewundert zu werden, und sie ist ein Schulkind und hat einen eindeutigen "Prinzessinnenfaktor". Und dafür dass sie konzentriert ist, hampelt sie ganz schön (kuck dir dazu mal andere "Wunderkinder" an). Aber ich find sie trotzdem super, keine Frage!!! Luca hat übrigens für mich gesungen, ich hatte ihn gebeten, er war damals 2 J. :o)

  • @TaraEldridge
    @TaraEldridge 13 лет назад +2

    @xKIIxNYANxMORIxCHANx Pyrovine is kinda right. She always liked playing, but it was never a really a challenge for her, so she just always glanced around while playing. That night she was tired and on stage in a huge auditorium, a little nervous and taking it all in.

    @fixitmann6685 6 лет назад

    To all those people who said she's holding it wrong... Pretty good for a lefty! She plays guitar & fiddle left handed now. Much more natural. At this time she did great, but could not hold that thing "right" handed on her shoulder due to her size and its size, and being a lefty, she does better right handed than most twice her age who have practiced for years. (Check out her more recent videos.)

  • @TaraEldridge
    @TaraEldridge 14 лет назад

    @LeahNPaige12 Uhmmm it will still make noise. The reason it just squeaks when most people run the bow across it is because there's no rosin coating it to make friction(creating sound), as that's not where one normally plays because it's not over the holes in the body of the fiddle.(makes for more volume) Laura however usually let her bow slide up there and that's where she played alot, not holding her fiddle upright all the time.

    @yriasantiesteban there is actually a slight difference in a violin and one that is meant to play fiddle on. the fiddles generally have a flatter bridge to make it easier to switch notes so fst like in most fiddle music. hope i helped! :)
