As a former violinist, this is genuinely impressive I'm glad you decided to focus alot on your bow hold, because an improper bow hold is a nightmare to break. And I'm also glad you decided to work on your tone instead of jumping straight into vibrato, a lot of new players just jump straight into vibrato and that just becomes a detriment to their overall playing, All in all, you made an amazing and huge improvement in only 30 days. If anything, I encourage you to keep at it, you've got real potential
@@christianlawagonbato11 All I can really say is practice, alot I would take proper sessions to just get comfortable holding the bow. Practice on a pencil if you have to, but make sure you are doing a proper bow hold. My teacher taught me to shake your hand out and then relax your hand and that's as proper as a bow hold as you can get. Don't hold the bow extremely tight, nor hold it too loosely, it has to be just right. It can seem quite daunting at first, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be start playing in no time! I hope you keep at it!
@Retri There are several things that could be at play there. 1. You are not moving the bow in a straight line, keeping consistent pressure on the strings, and/or not playing fast enough. 2. You forgot to wipe the strings off after practicing. Rosin build-up on the strings can heavily impact the sound of your instrument. 3. Your strings are not in good condition. I generally recommend replacing the strings when you just buy one, even if they work fine. You will never know the mileage of your strings and even less so of used ones. Plus you can guarantee the best sounding ones for you as compared to the stock ones.
I've been a violinist for 9 years and this is so impressive! I love how its not like unreal how quick she imrpoved but realistic to how learning something this hard really is. It shows how much you can accomplish by consistently practicing.
@@kusumasri04 i enrolled in a course from udemy. The instructor is great and his teaching method is pretty decent. I have also been learning to read music. But I still sound kinda horrible :) Have you reasearched or got any plan so far?
Violist and violin teacher here! Let me get you some things to know as you continue you journey! 1. you're using a lot of shoulder as you bow, open and close your elbow, also it sounds squeaky since you're putting too much weight when you bow 2. Shoulder rest (you called it a neck rest, never heard of it called that!) they aren't needed to play but really should be used when you play it just helps hold it up, it's something that never goes away 3. Vibrato: DO NOT ATTEMPT FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS BARE MINIMUM it takes A LOT of strength that beginners don't have, I didn't learn until 3 years in 4. finger tapes: USE THEM, the whole point of them is to help train your fingers where to go! after playing for ~5 years I still have my 3rd finger tape, memorizing where they go is one thing but memorizing where they go incorrectly is another. I think you're intonation is pretty good for your level, but have someone who knows what they're doing (ie. local music shop) put tapes on. they do not make you look stupid, I promise they help 5. Question, I notice you have one fine tuner, was this a hand me down violin? beginner violins don't usually have one as it's easier to tune 6 KEEP PRACTICING!! remember, practice makes permanent, not perfect. the more you practice the better you will sound, but make sure you give it 110% every single time so you sound confident when you play for others. I would also recommend taking at least 2 lessons from a professional, they'll help you fix anything :) I believe in you! you show a lot of promise in the 30 days alone and I think you will make a phenomenal violinist! If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them!
This was such a nice and helpful comment! I just bought a violin today and this makes me feel like people will be willing to help and kind to newbies in this hobbie!💗
@@Cloudyconfusion absolutely anytime! I wish you the best of luck on your journey, you got this! don't be discouraged, it's a pretty difficult instrument
@@potatofries1942 absolutely! violins and lessons can cost a good bit of money, so I'd talk to your parents about it but you can always ask for money at holidays and your birthday and things like that instead of gifts. If your school has an orchestra, I'd either talk to the director in person or email them and ask how you can get started. Since you said you have no background in music, I'm going to assume you aren't too familiar with music theory either. There are a lot of resources that can help you read music on RUclips and I know there are many quiz websites as well to test your knowledge and help you learn and grow. If you have any questions at all let me know, I would be more than happy to answer them! best of luck on your journey! :)
@@rachelshepherd9644 hey ! I am from India, am 15 and in high school which is not letting me learn violin ....i hv musical background and i know carnatic Sangeet ( Indian) and quite familiar with it but the problem is I hv not orchestra in our school and no violin classes near me .....i hv got permission from my parents to learn violin but it's possible only if I take online classes.....i am confused like hell dont know anything cause the way the Indians teach violin is different than how the others idk ..so i just need suggestions! Thank you:) waiting for your reply!
Violinist here! This is honestly amazing how much you learned in just 30 days it took me 2 years to memorize all the notes on strings and to play some songs. You did great!!
As a violin teacher, I was very impressed with what you were able to accomplish in 30 days! I was very happy when you decided to take the finger stickers off. It's so much better to let your ear tell you when you are in tune instead of your eyes. I always notice students get better intonation AFTER they take off the stickers. Way to go! You should stick with it :)
Violinist here!! I'm so shocked to see how good your posture is. Also vibrato takes years to learn. And if not learn correctly, it's very close to impossible to fix. Also never play without a shoulder rest EVER!!!❤️❤️
@@anahiromanmorell9061 it can cause a lot of pain and can really hurt you in the future. I have a friend who still has back and neck pain from not using a shoulder rest even though she has played just one year without a shoulder rest. It can cause problems so bad you have to get surgery. Do what you want but I really recommend using one. 🤍🤍
@@thegamerchampie8351 your neck will be hurting. it can cause really bad harm to your body over time. please do what you wanna do, I just don't recommend
i was actually losing hope on learning my Violin cause it's been 3 years and i can't do anything but I'm sure this will motivate me cause ur videos always did
I just started play around January and joined my school orchestra. I hoping to get lessons soon but I got to save up. At first I didn't sound good at all but I kinda got better by practising. So keep going it will get better.
@@ozichi._. it’s really depends if the teacher is good to show ur true potential but just keep practicing, I feel like confidence is important when it comes to playing violin or anything else
She survived a whole SIX days without a shoulder rest. If it were me, I couldn't last five minutes. Bravo 👏 Edit: She's really, REALLY good for a beginner and as a violinist myself, I am VERY impressed.
Hi! First of all, I just want to congratulate you on your amazing progress; when I started playing the Violin, It took me more than 30 days just to get the violin balance on my shoulder. Now, I've been playing for a good 5 years, and I just want to give you some tips. Something that I noticed in the very beginning is that you had a violin with one fine tuner, that gold thing near the bottom of your Violin where the string ends. For a beginner, I highly recommend having 4 of those. The Violin you had is what a professional would use. But I also noticed that you got a new one, later on, an amazing choice. And to be honest, there was really nothing wrong I could find. Happy practicing!
I play guitar and piano, poorly, but I've always wanted to learn the violin. I found your video very inspirational! You might not sound perfect, but your progress was great. Thanks for putting yourself out there for our collective benefit.
Amazing job! It’s not easy to learn violin but you did so well, especially for only 30 days. Majority of people don’t even touch a song for the first couple of months when learning. I am now currently on year 7 of learning the violin and I’ve got to say there’s still a lot I have to learn. Learning the violin is a long and difficult path but for all the beginners, don’t give up! Trust me it’s worth it in the end.
you did really good for a month!! and yeah, vibrato is something that takes YEARS to learn so don’t feel like you need to learn it any time soon! i’ve been playing 6 years and only this past year have i actually started learning vibrato, and it’s not NEAR perfect
As a violinist, this makes me happy to see someone learning. I'm in the middle of my 4th year playing, and it is really hard to learn. I still can't do a good vibrato, either, so I'd wait for that!! :)
I remember when I was at a competition 7 years ago, my violin teacher got kinda frustrated about other teachers focusing on training vibrato instead of proper fingering/bowing. I ended up "winning" in that competition while they only got a second place. So good on u for choosing the right path . Impressive how far you got in just 30 days
Amazing how you held the bow correctly picking it up for the 1st time and it is incredible you learned intonation/finger placement in 3 days...congrats
During my healing stages. I came across classical music and found that I actually am drawn to the music, it’s just so beautiful. Emotions flowing the power. But yes now im debating on learning either the violin, cello or piano.
You could do the viola if you want something in between (and not as high) Try both for a couple classes. Also, find an instructor who will teach you something fun to play, if you just do scales for months, you'll never have enough fun to stick with it : )
I'm really impressed! 👏👏👏Your progress in just 30 days is amazing! I've also been learning to play the violin for about the same amount of time. It's so inspiring. I hope you continue to learn and enjoy this beautiful instrument. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷 ❤
If you’re not already a musician of some other instrument, then this is rly rly rly impressive and it still is impressive even if u are already a musician.
I studied violin for three years and this is really impressive, after thirty days I was still working on the fingers position. One thing I suggest you is, rest your shoulder when you bow, you're using it a lot. I had this problem and fixing it really helped me sound better. Use finger tapes, I still have them after three years and they really help. Most important thing, keep practicing!! It is very difficult to turn back when you dont for a while (I say this from experience). I hope you will continue this journey because violin is a very beautiful instrument. Have a good day!
Really wanted to see a musician (who plays another instrument) learning violin... I play electric guitar for 17 years and i really want to learn violin so i wanna see how it works out when you already know musical theory and both instruments share a bit of the techniques like vibratos,slides,legatos,hammer-ons that you guys call trills i guess,double stops,etc ... Ive also noticed there's a technique in violin where you bounce the bow on the strings...i feel that'd be like a "gallop" on guitar..
There is nothing wrong with this younger generation. This young lady is very logical and pragmatic in planning her progress with learning the violin. Her goals are reasonable and capable of accomplishment.
I’ve been playing the violin for 4 years, middle school rn, for me, since I play violin on side of all my studies and I didn’t have a great starter teacher, the most important thing for me is whether my bow is straight and vibrato. Anyways, this is my first time watching your channel, and your a really fast learner, impressive, the violin is a hard instrument.❤
Ive been playing the violin for 4 years now, ive been thinking about giving up sometimes, because I feel like im not improving at all, not even a little, Thanks, This video motivated me to continue and keep trying :)
I learned how to play the violin in junior high, but eventually switched to the upright bass (because it made a bigger sound) I eventually switched to the electric bass guitar- was in several bands for almost 28 years, but it took me at least 15 years to really get comfortable and play naturally on the bass guitar to the point where I and the instrument became one.
Wow! Grade 8 violinist here! That's so impressive, I would recommend getting a shoulder rest though, it can be REALLY uncomfortable to play without one : )
As a professional violinist playing for 9 years now. You play like how I played after 4 years. The moment you loosen up and the tnesion in your right hand is gone, you will have a tone on par with many violinists. Good job learning it in 30 DAYS!
I’ve been playing for about 10 months..I’m impressed… that you memorized the notes without the sticker…. I’ve got my note sticker on my violin neck still… I’m scared to take it off haha … great job!
This is amazing for only 30 days. I’ve been playing for 6 years and the first 30 days we couldn’t even use our bow because we needed to practice our notes first with plucking the string
I did voilin for around 6 maybe 7 years, once a week. I only had 5 people in my class and my teacher would always write us out music to learn and then we had to learn to write it ourselves. On our voilin we had sponges so it was more softer on our cheeks but my hand would always get very tired cause I have smaller hands and arms to I was doing alot of stretching. Our first lesson was bow technique and plucking, trying to get a pure sound. It was dreadful, so many awful squeaks and if one of us messed up, we all messed up lol. It was really fun and I wanted to continue and I sorta just stopped going cause I kept forgetting so technically I 'quit' but I didn't actually so really confused about what to do.
I've been playing violin for 5 years and I'm only on grade 4. This is really impressive because violin is an extremely hard instrument to learn. They don't have frets, coordinating the bow and notes, holding the violin and bow. Well done!
Hello! I've been playing the violin for 9 years now. After watching, here are some tips I would give: 1. the space between your index finger and your middle finger is a bit too wide to produce a good sound 2. Your pinky finger should be more rounded to give you more control of the bow. In general, your fingers should be more relaxed (without risk of dropping the bow). 3. Your right arm rotating around your shoulder. This partly causes the problem of the crunchiness in the notes. Your bow should always be at a 90 degrees angle with your strings. To do this, you must extend your elbow and bring it more forward in front of you. 4. Left hand is pretty nice! I wouldn't suggest starting vibrato until you have a solid grasp of the instrument though. However, my opinions are my opinions. I think I learned vibrato about 3 years in or smth. Anyways, I rlly enjoy ur vids! keep up the good work :)
As someone who is still learning, I can say that for only 30 days, it sounded really good. Especially since you mentioned only using RUclips tutorials. It is a lot easier to learn with in person teaching, since they can correct things, explain it in easier terms, etc. good job! 👍🏻
Thank you for making this I actually wanted to start playing but was kinda demotivated when I saw online it could take over 4 months just to start playing the most basic of songs and to get a proper sound. Maybe I'll have a go at it since you seemed to be enjoying yourself as well You definitely didn't sound like someone who only started 30 days ago so I think that's a good sign you should kee at it!
OMG YOU WERE ON DAY 2 AND THAT PLAYING WAS BETTER THEN I PLAY NOW AND I HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR ALMOST 2 YRS! P.S. yea i was like *gaspin in disgust* actually
I've played violin for over 40 years and even teach violin now. This was beautiful and congratulations! BTW, what video software do you use to weave in the different parts you are playing in sync with the music? I've always wanted to make videos like that with me playing different instruments. Thanks!
damn im a violinist who learned pretty quick and- YOU LEARNED QUICKER??? WHAT? I've been playing for 2 years.. but like that first year didnt really count since i wasnt INTO it. But since im in an orchestra now this year ive made a LOT of progress.
hii:))) its realy amazing to see such grate progress i such a little time! im a 14 year old and i play violin for 1 year and 4 months now. during bow strokes if u use your underarm more then the upperarm it will sound smoother and look more elegant. mamby put your right index finger a little more to you ring finger en keep your fingers realy curfed! you sound realy good for only 30 days!!!
Hi I know this was commented a long time ago, but I want to start playing violin, as a 15yr, I want to know how long I usually have to put hours into it ?, and is it possible to decently play in a year? Or month ? :D?
As a beginner violinist ive been practicing the violin for 4 months now and fr tho you’ll improve and learn faster if you practice a couple of hours a day i’ll recommend 5 or 6 hours is enough, i know it can be tiring and it’ll hurt your muscles too lol, but its worth it, keep going guys!
Don't be ashamed of tape. I kept that on my violin for years😂. Also I'm still WTF on what to call stuff on violin like the "neck stand" even after decades of playing😂
here's a tip: you need to be moving your wrist more. when your bow comes up, your wrist should come up too. when the bow goes down, your wrist comes down. wrist flexibility is crucial to clean bowings. also, when the top of your bow is on the string and your arm is down, make sure you're moving your wrist down, not moving your elbow back. this helps for maintaining a good contact point.
I'm watching vids to see who I can play since I'm getting a violin for my birthday day Jan 24 so basically soon and you shocked me in 30 days wow keep the good work 👍

I play electric guitar for 17 years and i really want to learn violin so i wanna see how it works out when you already know musical theory and both instruments share a bit of the techniques like vibratos,slides,legatos,hammer-ons that you guys call trills i guess,double stops,etc ...
Ive also noticed there's a technique in violin where you bounce the bow on the strings...i feel that'd be like a "gallop" on guitar..
There is nothing wrong with this younger generation. This young lady is very logical and pragmatic in planning her progress with learning the violin. Her goals are reasonable and capable of accomplishment.
I’ve been playing the violin for 4 years, middle school rn, for me, since I play violin on side of all my studies and I didn’t have a great starter teacher, the most important thing for me is whether my bow is straight and vibrato. Anyways, this is my first time watching your channel, and your a really fast learner, impressive, the violin is a hard instrument.❤
Ive been playing the violin for 4 years now, ive been thinking about giving up sometimes, because I feel like im not improving at all, not even a little, Thanks, This video motivated me to continue and keep trying :)
I learned how to play the violin in junior high, but eventually switched to the upright bass (because it made a bigger sound) I eventually switched to the electric bass guitar- was in several bands for almost 28 years, but it took me at least 15 years to really get comfortable and play naturally on the bass guitar to the point where I and the instrument became one.
Your intonation is super! Keep practicing 💗
Wow! Grade 8 violinist here! That's so impressive, I would recommend getting a shoulder rest though, it can be REALLY uncomfortable to play without one : )
This was great progress in just 30 days! Keep it up! Btw Ive never heard anyone call it a neck rest. Most call it a shoulder rest.
As a professional violinist playing for 9 years now. You play like how I played after 4 years. The moment you loosen up and the tnesion in your right hand is gone, you will have a tone on par with many violinists. Good job learning it in 30 DAYS!
Thanks for the hands on tutorial, great progress I just ordered one and I'm a bit nervous about it but hey we shall see where this goes.great job
6 day mark was such an improvement!! this is so cool to watch as someone who is getting a violin soon!
I’ve been playing for about 10 months..I’m impressed… that you memorized the notes without the sticker…. I’ve got my note sticker on my violin neck still… I’m scared to take it off haha … great job!
if u don’t memorize the chords remember this phrase: “Each and every Ant Digging in the Ground” EADG
bro i am learning violin rn and this is so good, great job! this also makes me want to do a violin cover of something :P
This is amazing for only 30 days. I’ve been playing for 6 years and the first 30 days we couldn’t even use our bow because we needed to practice our notes first with plucking the string
Samee
me too lol but i’ve been playing for 2 years😊
I did voilin for around 6 maybe 7 years, once a week. I only had 5 people in my class and my teacher would always write us out music to learn and then we had to learn to write it ourselves. On our voilin we had sponges so it was more softer on our cheeks but my hand would always get very tired cause I have smaller hands and arms to I was doing alot of stretching. Our first lesson was bow technique and plucking, trying to get a pure sound. It was dreadful, so many awful squeaks and if one of us messed up, we all messed up lol. It was really fun and I wanted to continue and I sorta just stopped going cause I kept forgetting so technically I 'quit' but I didn't actually so really confused about what to do.
Get a different teacher and start again
I've been playing violin for 5 years and I'm only on grade 4. This is really impressive because violin is an extremely hard instrument to learn. They don't have frets, coordinating the bow and notes, holding the violin and bow. Well done!
Great job 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I was impressed, you improved a lot in just 30 days 🥰 I'm proud of you Kize! God bless you, forever😇
I play viola and this is actually better than I can do! And I’ve been playing it for 4 months now and I still sound like a dying horse 🥲
Hello!
I've been playing the violin for 9 years now. After watching, here are some tips I would give:
1. the space between your index finger and your middle finger is a bit too wide to produce a good sound
2. Your pinky finger should be more rounded to give you more control of the bow. In general, your fingers should be more relaxed (without risk of dropping the bow).
3. Your right arm rotating around your shoulder. This partly causes the problem of the crunchiness in the notes. Your bow should always be at a 90 degrees angle with your strings. To do this, you must extend your elbow and bring it more forward in front of you.
4. Left hand is pretty nice! I wouldn't suggest starting vibrato until you have a solid grasp of the instrument though. However, my opinions are my opinions. I think I learned vibrato about 3 years in or smth.
Anyways, I rlly enjoy ur vids! keep up the good work :)
As someone who is still learning, I can say that for only 30 days, it sounded really good. Especially since you mentioned only using RUclips tutorials. It is a lot easier to learn with in person teaching, since they can correct things, explain it in easier terms, etc. good job! 👍🏻
Your intonation is extremely good
Just started violin lessons and thank you for great video!
Being a average violinist, I'd say our teacher started me off with plucking. But even without plucking, you did awesome!
Thank you for making this
I actually wanted to start playing but was kinda demotivated when I saw online it could take over 4 months just to start playing the most basic of songs and to get a proper sound. Maybe I'll have a go at it since you seemed to be enjoying yourself as well
You definitely didn't sound like someone who only started 30 days ago so I think that's a good sign you should kee at it!
OMG YOU WERE ON DAY 2 AND THAT PLAYING WAS BETTER THEN I PLAY NOW AND I HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR ALMOST 2 YRS!
P.S. yea i was like *gaspin in disgust* actually
Congratulations!!! You are Amazing, an example on perseverance ❤ Love it
I've played violin for over 40 years and even teach violin now. This was beautiful and congratulations!
BTW, what video software do you use to weave in the different parts you are playing in sync with the music? I've always wanted to make videos like that with me playing different instruments. Thanks!
I’m 11 and I play gd 6-7 violin! I didn’t rlly improve in the first year, but seeing u it is so impressive! U earned a like ☺
Bow attack to the string .speed and pressure is key to making the violin sing. Started playing in 5th grade 1969. Concert Master in high school 1978.
Good job ur so talented
I've been playing for 3 years and she still played better than me 😭 Great job girl!! Also can you tell me what videos you used to learn it please?
I would focus on intonation. It would be a good idea to buy an rcm technique book to work on scales and etudes. Good job!
My reaction when i saw that you were playing well on day 4 with no shoulder rest: 😲😲😲😲😲😲
damn im a violinist who learned pretty quick and- YOU LEARNED QUICKER??? WHAT? I've been playing for 2 years.. but like that first year didnt really count since i wasnt INTO it. But since im in an orchestra now this year ive made a LOT of progress.
As a 65 yr old semi-retired adult who has decided to learn the violin, THIS gave me hope that it's not a hopeless quest. Well done.
Nice string jumping and finger placement Ur on ur way to becoming a great violinist
im violonist. i became happy for you. nice job and keep going.
My violin arrives tomorrow, and I would be fortunate to make 1/4 of the progress you did in 30 days. Well done!
How are you doing now?
@@gideonkyleanie5293 I quit after 2 weeks. Now I have an expensive piece of wood in a closet somewhere!
hii:))) its realy amazing to see such grate progress i such a little time! im a 14 year old and i play violin for 1 year and 4 months now. during bow strokes if u use your underarm more then the upperarm it will sound smoother and look more elegant. mamby put your right index finger a little more to you ring finger en keep your fingers realy curfed! you sound realy good for only 30 days!!!
Hi I know this was commented a long time ago, but I want to start playing violin, as a 15yr, I want to know how long I usually have to put hours into it ?, and is it possible to decently play in a year? Or month ? :D?
Violin seems very challenging Instrument, you did great job!
Just a suggestion for your next 30 day challenge I think you should learn to play the bag pipes
As a beginner violinist ive been practicing the violin for 4 months now and fr tho you’ll improve and learn faster if you practice a couple of hours a day i’ll recommend 5 or 6 hours is enough, i know it can be tiring and it’ll hurt your muscles too lol, but its worth it, keep going guys!
Don't be ashamed of tape. I kept that on my violin for years😂. Also I'm still WTF on what to call stuff on violin like the "neck stand" even after decades of playing😂
I was thinking I was a lost cause after day one. Glad I found your inspiration
Wow!!
I plan on learning to play the violin. This is a great inspiration ❤
fuck yeah of course so inspiring !!
Just subbed after reading your bio. I think I’m going to really enjoy your channel 👌
Genuinely impressed!!!! Wow
here's a tip: you need to be moving your wrist more. when your bow comes up, your wrist should come up too. when the bow goes down, your wrist comes down. wrist flexibility is crucial to clean bowings. also, when the top of your bow is on the string and your arm is down, make sure you're moving your wrist down, not moving your elbow back. this helps for maintaining a good contact point.
It’s called shoulder rest as a violonist ur getting better keep going my friend plays cello so I tried to learn but it’s hard please give me advice
Wow this was incredible and the ending made me want to cry it was beautiful and knowing you did this all in one month?! Wow!!!
This makes me want to practice more! Well done! Will you keep playing the violin?
There is no such thing as effort without perfect results, I am amazed and I hope to be like you!!
So inspiring. Thank you for sharing
I just bought a violin todayy and wooo! Well, your video is such a boost!

@Calum Fusco thanks
same to you
As a profesional right now, when I first started I couldn’t do anything from the first 2 and a half months 😂 really impressive
Thats not bad forr 30 days to be honest, well done
congratulations! Admire your focus and determination
You look strangely like Amanda Seyfried and I love it.
I'm watching vids to see who I can play since I'm getting a violin for my birthday day Jan 24 so basically soon and you shocked me in 30 days wow keep the good work 👍
Congratulations i play violin and also teach, and in 30 day u did a lot of progress. Just awesome
You forgot put a shoulder rest, that’s why on the beginning was hard for you to keep violin straight
Yeah it’s way more easier to play it with a shoulder rest on
can be better😄😄but it was better than the first day..
Kize electric guitar 🎸❤️❤️next challenge
