Viva La Vida - Coldplay - Orchestra

[iamhart17]

A quintet. NOT AN ORCHESTRA.

[BoomChickaCalumet]

Since the cello sounds kinda out of place, and it sounds most like a voice, it should have been the "voice"

[Atrus159]

Well, you're a lot better than our 7th graders. Our 8th graders might be better, but not by much.

[LegolasXh3]

is Beautiful :')

[zooblob1]

this is a string quintet or and quartet. Either one. but I enjoy the richness in the sound of the violin. (But I prefer viola over anything)

[bakntime2]

People, they're 7th graders... Most of you would pick up a violin or a cello and MAYBE you could make it squeal like a sick pig, let alone when you were twelve. It takes years to hone skills and become emotional with your music. Not everyone is naturally gifted or can spend 40 hours a week practicing, and stringed instruments are incredibly difficult.

[godzilla12332]

Good job :)

[DrChowder]

Sticks playing a song... Can't play this song without feeling and you need waaaaay more dynamics

[eep853]

We are playing this..I know we can do better....wow good tho

[Meganv508]

you need more aggressivness!!!!!!!!!!!!! no emotion. it works better with different people in a group playing. like viola's and violins are together, bass and cello are together in my school ( 100 people joined this year!) and we sound cool! and aggressive xD

[anna1010cat]

put your level higher for a better sound and more bow

[mjjm2308]

at least add in some whooa oahhs :P (look this song up live, seriously :P)

[prince19790]

why do they need sheet @_@

[MyButterfly456]

hey I'm playing that for my concert and anyway you guys are really good. Keep up the great work. Wow that was a stupid line.=) but its true you are very good.!

[Gremmie4]

Technically well-done, but it did lack passion.

[JarodJorsch]

nice chin tuck

[Qtizzle1234]

is that a viola



[Soniccool2]

Beautiful......

[LiscenceToStab]

This isn't bad; it's just a very classical interpretation of the song. It'd probably sound a lot better with more articulation and staccato, but it depends on what they were going for.

[YourCrazyXOXO]

Your teachers hogging the spotlight :P

[mcmaritc84]

fresno ca KIPP Academy? i knew the principle and thought of going to that school once!

[mjkllo]

can i get a copy of the sheet music on F HORN

[spawnymint]

cool we are playing this too! the eighth graders will play the melody, while the seventh graders are going to play the harmony. (i'm in 7th grade) I can't wait to play it!

[Storrusten95]

how do you guys manage to play without having your feet at the floor???

[LuEstradaG]

Lead violinist is great!!!

[pumpa29]

very cool! good work

[NowYouLeaveMe]

I truley love the vibrato by the way, it is wonderful. And the other instruments for the BG music were completely beautiful as well. I would like to say that the viola(?) farthest away from lead violin should keep their feet on the ground. this helps with posture and keeping your back from tiring. it also balances the instrument better.

Altogether an amazing job to all!

[chojiismybro]

this is wonderful! but im missing the harmonies...

[raokiki6]

viola: check that bow grip. You need a bent pinky. First violin: great job! It's great that you softened down (low strings): but that doesn't mean you can slack off. Be as good as you can be and try staccato

Overall: good effort

[tokyomewmewroxable]

this is pretty good. but maybe the soloist can play with a little less vibrating. ;)

[zoersmith]

notes! plz!!!! its so hard to find music

[ASTMA193]

Cool ;)

[fireflycat99]

Their is a such thing as using your entire bow.. :T

[Artyfowl21]

who is playing the solo? like what instrument. i cant tell if it is violin or viola.

[fireflycat99]

@Artyfowl21 4/4 Violin

[tokyomewmewroxable]

@Artyfowl21 violin. the viola's pitch is a wee bit higher. :)

[NowYouLeaveMe]

@tokyomewmewroxable yes, but i was just wondering since the violas have i wider range. harder to tell with the viola and violin.

[bananaman91827]

too quiet

and boooooooooring

[TheViolinIce]

Staccato in the background please. I love the solo.

[asianjas]

Awesome!

[Tashiihatesyou]

i dont see why ppl would dislike this, but they have no emothion and there is only one person playing the main part which means no one is really paying attention to all the hard work the other girls were puttin in,so now i do see why there are 76 dislikes even though this sounds like a goddess.(which means good)

[joakhin4]

Esta me gusta para dedicársela a mis amigos: los que procuran bellas sonrisas.

[stmb1]

Well, better than I could do...considering I don't play violen

[frozenstringS1]

(troll face)

[abbygirldelrosario]

they have no emotion ._. T_T

[z0oo3]

what a fuck i love song!!!!

[Higgy3000]

I swear, the other four are like half-catatonic

[cowgirls246]

im playing this at my school for our halloween conceert but at a MUCH faster tempo :/ its a hard song to play!!

[soccerrules5000]

I'm playing this!!!!!!!!!!

[stabbinhobo12]

the viola is beautiful! the rest of them need more intonation, and vibrato... good though!

[X1XGOSTMANX1X]

intonation

[gwenfruity]

Every single one of them could improve they're posture and positions. they didn't sound bad, but not very good, either. Someone was really out of tune, maybe more than one person in parts. Just keep playing and I'm sure you'll improve ^.^

[superbass887]

I liked it but i think it could of have been better..just cant wait till i play next year in school.......

[LailahProductions]

Ughh... Sorry to say but... No good really

[iluvthebluesky226]

pshh.. their posture and sound is horrible...someone should re-teach them how to play their instruments again..

[JelloCello123]

It must have been boring for the cello an violas (I think aha) the violin was great though

[llg6789]

Great but where is your bass? Lol!

[Snickers9910]

Where is the viola and cello solo! I mean the violin was awesome but I like deeper sounds. :)

[crazyfilm101]

ya they need to be more energentic about the song it's to dull they need to spice it up a little but besides that it's pretty good

[JennaMay410]

OMG! I only took 3 violin lessons so far. :( I want to learn how to play this. My mommy wants me to play the song "Secrets" Lol, "mommy."

[ColinMcDonaldGrant]

They need to be a bit more energetic I think, but this teacher has good taste!

[gingernoelle]

On the bass, almost all the song is the same

[gingernoelle]

No bass:(

[Breezysgurl21]

It's ok I mean show more emotion and I'm a violinist an I play better then that

[h0308231]

lol i playing this song and u making the violin look like shit

im a violinist

[mhatata91]

SHIT

[DemonWeasel1990]

farrrr too slow and waaaay off pitch.

[celloplayingchefboy]

I love your vibrato.. nice video!

[AwesomeSn1p3r]

Your vibrato sounds like your hitting crossovers. Try to keep it in place :)

[tpstrat14]

the viola is the instrument most resembling the human voice

[pinkzebra331]

I cant even hear the cellos or te violia the villion is to loud!!!!!! >:

[magenleigh61798]

i play viola:) and we are playing this song with all the schools from our county with mark wood!

[ghman98]

@60925jpoe What is a "Violine"

[60925jpoe]

its a little slow but thats ok bye the second violine ur violine was out of tune

[iliveinub]

so slow!

[aiorosraptor]

terrible esa viola! tremenda

[xoxoParissss]

likelikelikelikelikelikelikeli­kelikelikelikelikelikelikeLike­LikeLikeLikeLIKELIKELIKELIKE!!­

[TheNBortor]

I play violin, I would like to play this song in a orchestra!!!ThUmBs Up WITH ME!!!

[TheChipmunk321]

vibrato anyone else?



[Wizalchemist56]

@TheChipmunk321 and some staccato

[XAceofBassX]

Needs more lower instruments, *cough* Bass *cough*

[brawnyjk]

Instead of criticizing, could we be more appreciative and actually offer helpful advice? That is all.

[ISeeFlyingMoose]

@brawnyjk Criticizing is also somewhat a advice.

[brawnyjk]

@ISeeFlyingMoose I think you mean critiquing...which is a form of CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. ;)

[MrCornism]

I'm in the seventh grade too and that's horrible for seventh graders. I have most of the Suzuki book 2 memorized! XD

[MrCornism]

It's so slowwwww!!! Speed up and play out. Me my self am a cellist. And have played this song for school. It's X1000000000 faster for the lower parts.

[98spongebobfan]

We've been playing this at my school , but it sounds better because there is different sections playing there solos, not one instrument . It was good , but would have been better with seperate solo parts .

[gaikevin]

Aren't those beginning notes staccato?

[BrCrasherII4664]

even for a school orchestra standards they arent that good. especially with there not being alot of them they really need to play out, but they are all shy about it.

[leoinggeo]

@BrCrasherII4664 they're kids! They have fun, isn't that what it's all about?

[trickscs]

nicee xD good job xD

[lobococo8]

@Charmmy5

I know right. Same here. Violas need to be loved too

[bridney3616]

this is awesome

[12343astronomer]

very good vibrato

[GodsThirdHand]

Hahaha suck @ss

[pianoguy1120]

just wondering why the TEACHER is playing on a plywood instrument..?

[mrnarutoyang2]

They were ok.....

[paramorerandomness]

oh god the viola sucks

[tally12671]

im playing this song for the Festival of Begging Bands Im on the bass guitar its going to be so cool

[stricken132]

Where Can I Find The Music Sheet For The Violin

[Mickymouselovesme]

Me and my freinds are going to play this for solo on somble:) love it guys keep up the good work

[Alliciatwilight]

I play in my 6th grade orchestra cello..my friend Pierce plays it too and he taught me the part. the one i know goes: ddddddddd, eeeeeeeee,aaaaaaaaa,f# u get it lol. it just goes lower.

[Manaphypalka]

I play the cello and the cello part is nothing like that!!!

[Kromster80]

They are soooo saaaaad ... :(

[Animewover300]

WHERE'S THE SHEET. I WANT IT. THIS WAS JUST AWESOME.

[Animewover300]

@AlternitiveNerd, lol, you know its Cellist?

[dtn1997]

Chelli and violin is kinda off tune, but GOOD JOB VIOLA :)

[ArabQuinn]

@AlternitiveNerd At least be a bit happier while playing, or the cello isn't for you.

Also, I was much better when I started playing, because I had to learn fast and play hard songs (I was in an Advanced high school orchestra)

-Cello,Violin,and bass player

[ArabQuinn]

@AlternitiveNerd At least be a bit happier while playing, or the cello itsn't for you.

-Cello,Violin,and bass player

[Gravelyn13]

my missionarys on a foreign field what like the rest of your violas?

[locamarii26]

they did great!!!! i love it!

[Goodmilk167]

im in 7th grade to!...but i could care less about orcestra but i love coldplay!

[simsbaby971]

they only have one viola in ours also...

[TheSuicidalChipmunks]

Kinda slow, and honestly the rythm section seems to be missing the enthusiasm. But I'm not one to judge, I don't listen to this music.

[MusicAndHorses4ever]

@TheSuicidalChipmunks I agree. I'm only in ninth grade, but it does sound like the piece lacks enthusiasm. The students sound almost monotonous.

[leatherfacefan1974]

im the only bass in my skool and i rly wanna play this for the intro

[FlySmileFan]

How old are they ? :) 'cause they're pretty good :o

[MusicOrBust100]

You guys were pretty in tune, but it sounded like one continuous slur with changing notes. Maybe try to play it more détaché next time? Other than that, it was awesome!!!

[Drstrange31]

even though you guys did pretty good almost all you did was drone so yeah but it still sounded pretty in tune

[91purpley80]

this is great! my 7th/8th grade orchestra is doing this for our spring concert.

[cadiyayme]

i play this song with my orchestra but there are 50 people so yeah and Im in fourth grade and im first chair im the youngest in my orchestra in 9 and the oldest is 25 so yeah .... i dont no if thats good or not ?

[LALA27ism]

wow only one viola!!

im like the only one in my school orchestra!!

violas are beast there needs to be more!!!

[rinnegan135]

@LALA27ism

So I'm in 8th grade and I play the viola. There are NO violas in the 6th grade orchestra whatsoever. O_O There is about four in the 7th grade and three in the 8th grade. It's crazy that no one chooses the viola. It's so awesome and I am glad that I play it. (: 

[SuperBlackboy2]

@LALA27ism me too there 6 violins and i'm one viola(which is me).

[SuperBlackboy2]

@LALA27ism me too there 6 violins and i'm one viola(which is me).

[Charmmy5]

@LALA27ism IKR i'm the only viola in my class... why is it so underrated??

[tase245]

@LALA27ism true that happens to me 2

[CatybelongstoJared]

@LALA27ism YES! I am a violist too. i am one of 8. we are outnumbered by the violins. there are well over 20 in just my group.

[spawnymint]

@LALA27ism we only have two in our school orchestra! i agree! violas rock! (i play the violin though)

[rallyk4606]

@LALA27ism Wow there's only one cello too!

[123kibaluver]

@LALA27ism Actually there are 3 the one is a violin ^^

[luvyou2deathcuzimemo]

@LALA27ism my grade has 4 but I'm a cello :)

[MrJoseph80]

good playing! for 7th grades, n like everyone is saying a little more emotion/ or techniques would make it sound much more entertaining, but you'll pick that up over the years of playing. no worrys

[jediQmasterQwolfie]

@AlternitiveNerd i think ur pretty gppd :D i um.... "tired" to play cello :) in 7th grade... now im in 8th.... but i think i wanna try something like this lol.... and.... u comment is 5 months old... sry :p :D good work :D

[chrissysexy]

beatiful :D, i'm a big coldplay fan, and this made me feel like shivering xD

[chrissysexy]

beatiful :D

[coby3212]

you need a bass

[TheVamization]

nice job, but wheres the feeling?????!!! only the lady on the left looked like she was, u know, "emotional" ... the others were like bored.. or at least looked like they were

[PhychoBitch1996]

im n this!!!

[Titan232065]

lol i have a different arrangment for my orchestra XD

[peeshable]

im a violist and i really want to play that song by any chance do u have a link to the song sheet for viola?

[xoxoJazzie14xoxo]

its good but the one in the middle needs to use more of her bow..

[TheGreendaylover1]

In the very begining they should play:

"D D D D E E E E E E E E E F# F# F# F# F#"

it was just a suggestion.

I am an 12 year old violinist and have played for 3 years with my school symphony orchestra. For beginers. your students are very good. Best of luck

[TheGreendaylover1]

i learned this song in 3rd grade!!

[DDiegoMMontes]

I think you ladies did very good, but this song needs more enthusiastic rhythm !

[mvazquez92]

what key major? isit b flat major?

[itsjanetxoxo]

whoa this is awesome, I did a version on my channel too :]

[renoalex1]

Teacher.. Badass

Students...

[jessie1derasp]

thats really good .. were can i get the sheet music for the part 1 voilin ???

[nicholasdeoto22]

theres 5! ? and ummmmm we played this too!! haha.. its a beautiful song! they did good.

[deedeanna2]

@nicholasdeoto22 yes, there are 5 people in the video, but I am the teacher and I'm in the left...so these were only 4 of my 7th graders.

[sammysamx20]

@deedeanna2 wow im in 7th grade we are not even playing songs close to that

[MsNezzie123]

@deedeanna2 well you guys suck nuts

[maizidemaidedaodede]

Wow, that was amazing, I'm planning on starting Violin lessons soon after a failed stint at it in High School and very very encouraged to see the level of progress that can be made as beginners, I'm very encouraged also to see such quality music programs in the public (is it public?) schools. Keep up the good work teacher

[synasthesise]

amazing!!!!!

[iMuzicz]

I think the performance directions are a little weird though.. the viola and cello should have some staccato o0

[PeaceGirl2137]

I hope we do this song :) I play the cello :)

[gonecountry1959]

thanks to me and only me and my school band teacher, our school had never had orchestra in the 60 some years of my school, we gotten orchestra!! =D  the whole violin, viola, cello etc. its amazing!!

[deedeanna2]

@AlternitiveNerd So true, Belle! You were only playing for 1 1/2 months when this was recorded. You did so well!

[jaila0]

The girl that played the vocals, was fantastic! The background could have been better. You play that in a SERIES OF DOWN BOW STROKES. Trust me it sounds way better that way.

:D

[pwnmaster77]

a bit to slow i think

[jayflies737]

Wow! This is impressive. Nice Work.

[AZMTJG]

wow this sucked!!!!!!!!

[deedeanna2]

@AZMTJG Maybe you could post a video of yourself and a group of beginning players playing this, or else provide feedback as to WHY you thought this "sucked" and how it could be better? Thanks.

[SkywalkerLegacy]

@AZMTJG Learn to appreciate music, for the fact they only played for a short time is considered very good. If u still dont get what i mean, get a life

[jodeeteeee]

I WANT THE SHEET MUSIC PLEASE!

[jodeeteeee]

I WANT THE SHEET MUSIC PLEASE !

[lid0kma]

that was bad

[deedeanna2]

@lid0kma I'm taking this as a "that was bad ass". Thank you!

[Genyrox16]

Hi i'm 11 and I play cello too! but not as good as that but soon I will be great as them!

[deedeanna2]

@Genyrox16 Keep practicing! :)

[zzzfarcry]

wish my school had an orchestra because I'd be beast in it.

very nicely done!!! my main instrument is cello, but i play a little bass. ;) i loved it
