      I can do the first one and I'm crap at the violin. The fingering for it is super easy, the bowing is super easy, and... well that's it actually. That's the whole thing. Look at her left hand, she just keeps it in one place! And to play the other note you just touch the other string real quick, and keeping your bow on the right string is the first thing you learn.

      ​@@GamerKittyYT Exactly right! I've been playing self taught piano for 10 years, and so, when I started learning violin just 4 days ago, I've found that 'Intonation' and just overall finding the perfect pitch for any song that I hear, comes easy to me. However, the bow and playing it in the right positions/angles is Exponentially difficult! But with that being said, I'm only a few days in of learning this instrument. 😅 I hope I can get better, before my family gets fed up of my 'Practising'. 😂

      @big blue that’s not entirely true. Suppose you play soccer, majority of time you train with teammates, u have bondings and you & your teammates would grow as a team. Violin (and presumably many other instruments) is different; you would practice alone, cuz that’s the only way you would actually get better. you have to commit the time, talking about hours, to practice everyday and consistently, even when you know your friends are chilling outside.

    The violin and viola are both string instruments that look similar, but there are several key differences between them:
    Size: The viola is larger than the violin. The body of a viola is typically between 38cm and 43cm long, whereas the body of a violin is about 35.5cm long for a full-size instrument12.
    Sound: The viola has a deeper, mellower sound compared to the brighter, higher-pitched sound of the violin12.
    Range: The viola can play four steps lower than a violin due to its size and the C string1.
    Strings: The viola uses the strings C, G, D, A, while the violin uses G, D, A, E2.
    Clef: Violinists read music in the treble clef, while violists read music in the alto clef2.
    As for what a viola player is called, they are known as a violist3. This term is used interchangeably with “viola player,” but “violist” is the more commonly used term. There’s also an outdated term “violaist,” but it’s no longer widely used4. So, just like a violin player is called a violinist, a viola player is called a violist.

However, my problem is that I am over 6ft tall and have Rachmaninoff-sized hands- i make a full sized violin look like a 1/2 sized violin. When I am holding a viola, it looks like a violin.

Now I’m 16 and I’m in love with my orchestra class I love the teacher she’s amazing and she was going back and forth between my high school and one of them biggest high school in Wisconsin because the teacher got arrested. She’s really stressed out but she try’s her best to don’t let that out on anyone. Four days ago was our spring concert which is the last concert of the year and our most emotional one because we are losing such wonderful people in the music community at our school. The orchestra, band and choir teachers are very close and get along so well that we got quarter-zips that say tremper music on them instead of each group gets a different one. During the concert all the seniors were crying because they were leaving and because they were leaving a wonderful group of people. I wasn’t as emotional till I realized I’m graduating into year, I never been in any kind of school group ever and this family we have at my school that consists of the band, orchestra and choir is my school family. I love them all and I’m trying my best to get them all on some kind of social media platform so I can keep in contact with them over the years. I’m really sad because the choir teacher is retiring after this school year, but my sister got to graduate having her favorite teacher.

    It's because the first song it doesn't require that much technique; vebrato, sharp bows, string crossings, intonation, shifting. On the other hand, the second song required some vebrato along with shifting to different positions like fifth position from time to time. They also had to make sure that the beat was intact. I feel like the first one it was easier because for most of time it was the same thing, and going a higher note at a few parts. Plus, if you've been doing violin for at least two years, you'd probably get the tremolo down for the first one. The second one also had shifting and all that while having it in beat. Just because it's fast doesn't mean it's always hard :P

    What's really hard is giving up the idea of becoming good right away and accept the fact that you need to practice more than you are willing to and coming to terms with the fact that you'll never be good if you don't change your attitude... I mean, yeah lol I relate

    I was hoping the finish would've been a single down bow staccato.
    As I've seen plenty of okay players sound very impressive throwing a plethora of notes at the audience, but it's only when that single note asks for perfection that a general audience will truly appreciate a master.
