  • can you please tell me the music...?XD Btw...good job!:D

  • I play myself and I think you did it very lovely for a beginnger. I do think you need to loosen your bow a little though. Only other advise I have is to look proud. Cause you really should be, I think you did great <3 Its hard when you know its going on youtube, but feel the violin, feel the amazing sorrow and message there is in this song! Be proud of yourself cause you did good!

  • I think you were pretty good all those people saying your not good at it are just haters!

  • U R SO HOT!! :)

  • Where did you get the sheet music??

  • PLEASE. PLEASE LOOSEN YOUR BOW. IT HURTS TO SEE IT SO STRAIGHT. D: A BOW SHOULD MAINTAIN A SLIGHT NATURAL CURVE. IF THE SPACE BETWEEN THE BOW AND THE HAIR IS FURTHER THAN THE WIDTH OF A PINKY, PLEASE LOOSEN IT. Or it may snap. :|

  • I like it and who cares what anyone thinks you know you were good and that's all that matters

  • i am a violinist myself, and i do say you were very good :D I am trying to learn this song as well and i'm not having very much success.. Good job!

  • as an older man who just started...you sound great to me. Keep up the good work

  • It maybe rough , but no one are born expert be4. Someday , Would you mind show us when your skill is improved. Anyway , good for beginner level.

  • I think that the song is beautiful enough. :) Kudos for being brave enough to post a vid of yourself playing it.

  • n.n

  • You can always practice to be better (: i like your violin, it's really beautiful, greetings from Mexico :3

  • Keep up the progress!!!! I love it!!!

    

  • AWESOME!! God gave you an INCREDIBLE talent!! It's not fair that some don't like it.

    AMAZING!!

  • Brava !! that is nice. keep playing this is a very nice song ! Complimenti, violin is not as easy as many believe..

  • i like it. your better than i'll ever be. :(

  • THIS IS GOOD!!!!!! :)

  • I can't play violin at all. xD I really want to play this.

    Thanks for posting this!

  • See, if I even tried people watching would have their ears bleeding in a matter of seconds. Bravo!

  • I've been playing violin for 4 years, and even I couldnt play it that well. Then again, I suck.

  • lo aces casi bien jjiij... bueno en realidad te falta bastante pero se te ve motivada... persevera y practica artooooo.... animo

  • @tris4tan

    Is this English, Spanish, Germish, Gibberish???

  • congrats! I also play violin and unlike other people I undestand ow it is hahaa! I am a xoxo novice too... but you did it amaizing :)!

  • mas despacio pe china! tas malogrando la hermosa cancion!

  • you play it too fast, that makes the tune loose a lot of his soul

  • hmmmn OMG that chik looks hot..... BTW love the cover

  • Keep at it! :D

  • La practica hace al maestro ^ ^

  • I think you did great!

  • You´re so pretty, its very cool to see you play.

  • za nisko

  • Well done, it sounds really good, but a lot better on piano.

  • That was so pretty! Don't listen to those meanies!

  • Your awesom don't listen to what those jerks say. Hey can you do me a favor and send me the notes to the song? please and thank you.

  • No you play well. An instrument such as a violin is hard to play very well like valensmann said. Keep playing and practicing and youll improve. Dont ever doubt yourself:)

  • friends love me as I loved playing congratulations

  • thats still good girl <3 all you need its that weird vibrate thingy they do at the end of a note <3

  • Not too bad, interesting you use mainly the lower half of the bow

  • I will allow myself to advice you to find sb to play with you

    The solo violin is very "lonely", there is not volume

  • Hey, REALLY GOOD JOB.

  • What are the notes?

    

  • I Enjoyed this Video! You play good! Keep up the good work and practice a lot and you will become a Pro! I just know it! :D

  • i've played violin for 7 years, but I remember I was once like you. But what you mainly need to improve on is how proudly you play this song, move your arms more, don't be afraid of mistakes. Also, you need help on tuning just a little bit, but that will improve on its own over time. Over all, you play good for a beginner. As a novice in violin playing, you also have the courage to post up a video that actually shows your trying, don't be afraid of what others think or say. Keep Playing! :)

  • @farewell2passion ikr :) im playing violin for 2 years im in 6th derp lol but ive learned that you need to let loose let your heart carry yourself away and ive just been doing that :D i cant wait for the winter concert :D

  • I don't play violin myself but I do play viola in my school orchestra and I'd say that you played very well. I liked the video :)

  • I love people who don't read the info box. Good job. I'm figuring out by ear how to play this as well. Except I started on the E string, mostly because I hear the high notes easier than the lower ones.

  • can you send me the sheet music???

    i really love this song.... i tried to adapt it but its not like yours!

    pleaseeeeeeeee!!!

  • Great,

    I think it is a great start!!! I'm sure the more you practice the better you'll get! :) I used to play the violin for two years and I never got that good. :'(

  • good job!

  • "PLAY the violin, Johnny!" Sorry, couldn't resist. You're worlds better than I could ever be. On another note, you're beautiful. :)

  • Listen to Ruby Colley

  • Why so short?... I could have listened more...?

  • Hey were did ivy sheet music for thy?

  • Good show!

    

  • This sounds really good!

    People have hard time appreciating violin music, because they have never played it themselfs. It's hard and takes a lot of time.

    You have a very good technique, you didn't scratch the other strings while playing and the sound was very clear. <3

  • Disculpa, pero lamentablemente tus matices con respecto a la musica, no existen. Definitivamente tienes cero oido para el violin, instrumentoi costoso de estudiar y manejar... te lo dice una estudiante de violoncello, cuyo aprendizaje es igual de costoso...... pero igual muy buen intento :)

  • Hey I really liked it :)

  • Well, ignore everyone who says something negative, because not everyone's perfect at anything.

    At least you had the guts to put your video up here, and I liked it a lot(:

  • Hi I was looking for the violin sheet of the lullaby and I happened to see your video...I really liked it....you mentioned that you figured out the notes yourself. I myself am an amateur violinist...so would it be possible for you to send me the notes?...thanks

  • It's better than I could be... :]

    And don't feel bad...

    Ever heard the expression: Whatever you can do, and however you do it... someone else can do it better...

    So there will always be someone who canplay better which would be an expert and one who can't play better than me and I'm along those ones... so no worries...

    I liked it, btw!

    I made this account to upload me playing and I haven't had the guts to upload anything...

  • don't under-state urself! u play amazing keep practicing and don;t give up!

  • i liked it. i just started lessons about 2 months ago. i'd be happy to be as good as you right about now.

  • nice, could of been an octave higher, and some vibrato would of been nice, but its ok.

  • Can you send me the music notes to this lullaby in an email attachment? Nice going...as a new student of the violin, I can say that getting any sound out of the violin without screaching is an accomplishment! I hope you keep it up.

  • wow very nice , like it =PP

  • iv'e been only been playing the violin for 2 years so im still pretty new but that sounded really good to me good job :)

  • it seems that you're a little bit shy, but you'll get, just believe and try hard

  • your cute

  • i like it!!!! :)

  • you shouldn't be ashamed i hear it takes some people tears just to get a sound out of it i myself want to take up violin any tips ??

  • @maniacalmickey uummmmmm.... alright I'm just gonna throw this out there, you're... HOT! There, I said it, please don't be angry o_0... 8D

  • I'm a novice violinist myself, but I don't have the balls to post up a video of myself playing, or even to play in front of family. So you have my respect for that, and you didn't scratch the other strings while playing, so I'd say, good job!

    Also, I liked how the video's description was you telling off trolls before they could even say anything. Good job on that one too! :)

  • I thought it was very good

  • that was ALL WRONG!!! the tune goes a loooot slowwer. And dont force the arc

  • i love the way it sounds. idk what u were talkin about. it's deffinetly better than i can play :) any body who dislikes this video is just jealous of you.

    oh and umm.. i think i love you... =P

  • you can come to my house and I won't charge you for few lessons.....what do you say? ;-) just joking......I appreciated the effort......keep the will

  • i rly like it. - do not get upset by mischievous ytube comments!

  • come on it was pretty good

  • you are nice and your plaing is nice as you :-)

  • OMG! You can't believe how bad I suck and even when my ears arre ready to bleed ^^ I keep practing

    I'm not saying that you play bad but, if you don't like it, just keep trying. And the others shouldn't bring you down, so don't care about them.

  • that was awesome u shud try abrato idk how to do it but it makes everything better lol nd if u go to google nd look up "pans labyrinth sheet music" that is how i found my copy but i only found 1st violin

  • Why would you not use vibrato.. isn't that fiddlin' 101?

  • @g00dz Vibrato takes years to learn to do well. You don't really need to use it till about Grade 4/5 :)

  • oooooooo mami xD

  • I feel like i am strangled. But it s very nice. I gave u 5 . I just feel heartache.

  • this was great it helped my learn how to play some of the song!

  • i wish i could play the violin!!! and play this song u did awesome

  • dont let anyone tell you mean things..some ppl cant even sing..you played well =D

  • No sheet music? Cool!

  • you aren't bad, you are good. keep learning sweet girl :)

  • o sea maso mijin

  • Very well done i play piano and i understand where your coming from with all these people saying alot of crap. Like please half of them dont have the attitude and heart for music if there judging someone who just played by ear. Like to see half these snotty rude people try it. 5/5 stars congrats and ps. Ur cute :)

  • That was amazing :D Nice nice nice job :)

  • Hey NEVER apologize for music. It is a gift and you have the unique ability to give it. You sounded AWESOME, and half these people saying they dont like it dont even know how to play the violin. Great job :)

  • Don't be so hard on yourself. I could understand what you are playing, and the notes sounded right. Good job all around.

  • I think this is really good. I started playing violin 6 months ago and it is HARD. Nice job! :D

  • Loved this, the simplicity and rawness of it really reflects Mercedes's personality and the feeling she puts into the lullaby. Brilliant.

  • Is it hard for you to figure out the notes on your own? Cause I've practiced violin for about a year and am not able to do that at all :S

  • @NewtonBlog The sound quality is bad and she does seems to be really nervous, she may not be ready for the stage but I think she was good. To be honest, I would never even dare to touch a violin, I think I would be so bad that it would be insulting for a such good instrument. But she has the guts to play and even share with others, "Horrible" is a little too rought, don't you think ?

  • @JakJoProduction

    You right dude, horrible is bad, my apologize, i play piano and i would never upload a video if i cant play " x " song perfectly, id recomend her to do so.

    :)

  • @NewtonBlog I've been working seriously into music for less then a year, getting my self a small home studio and stuff... wish I could do colabs with other musicians around the world one day ! But I still have a long way to go.

  • I thought that was really good, i'm not normally a fan of the violin but i really liked this. well done :)

  • Hi, I think u've worked hard for this piece, so, u will play better soon. I think violinist should encourage each other :)

  • that was good and i played the violin but quit and i tried and tried but never could get it right

  • dnt worry i only play for myself and im positive im much worse than you...where did u get the sheet music because i wanna learn it??

  • @christine4xoxo she said she didnt use sheet music, its from ear

  • my ears are bleeding...

  • Don't play good? Are you kidding me?  So what if you aren't playing like Mozart? You play a helluv a lot better than I ever could (sadly I was never a gifted individual when it comes to the violin). You did great playing that by ear- screw anyone else who says otherwise.

  • Deng ur not that good u should practice

  • Thats pretty good =) Try a vibrato on the longer notes, it gives a ver nice effect

  • Hi :)

    I just wanna tell you that u looked cute when u started the vid :P. And i find i trather admiring that you mut yourselfs out there infront of the whole world. I wouldnt dare to put a vid of myself on youtube. I play piano. Maybe on one day I will place a video.

    Anyways Thumbs up :).

  • well, you play better than me... you just have to tune your violin... great job! :)

  • At least you know you don't play well. But practice makes a master so keep on practicing.

  • idk shit about music but you kind of went too fast.

  • I think you play alright. Perhaps going a bit fast with the notes and moving the bow a bit too slowly, but you're not bad.

  • Your not playing good. "Is bcz, you don't want to play good! Maybe if, you would put some effort in it and play from the heart you would sound good! ;/.

  • Toco violín hace 4 años y puedo sugerirte que toques esa canción en mi, la estas tocando en la y no suena bien

  • asco

  • you need to use more bow and because when your playing a song like this, it makes it sound more smooth than like how your playing it, kind of choppy.

    this is just some constructive advice but over all not bad :)

  • i like it!!! sounds good + ur cute ;D

  • Awww. You get an A for Effort, in my book! I wish I could play an instrument and it sound somewhere near what it's supposed to sound like. Practice makes perfect.

    Keep playing, my friend!

  • Violin is indeed a very hard instrument to play, even harder to play good.

    Keep on practicing, and don't ever be ashamed for thy music. You will improve.

  • @valensmann I think you meant play well. Keep writing. You will improve.

  • @chrisdavidblack

    It's perfectly acceptable to use 'good' instead of 'well' on informal occasions.

  • You go girl!!! Belt it out.

    Anyone doesn't like it....up their noses!!!

    Good job.

  • very bad

  • @rockopera1985 she lays her soul in her songpieces, and that's the thing a good musician is made from....

    go on

  • beautiful japanese girl <3

  • wow really good..(:

  • woo i did it!! ;D just a little piece.. but i can..

    thanks for the video!!

  • Sounds Good

  • ah! I love it! I will try my best to learn it too! do you know the notes? pass 'em over :D lol please and thanks. If you can.

  • OMG!, fantastic, you're doing great, and if playing the violin is something you enjoy, then play your heart out, ^^.

  • yeah it would sound better with a vibrato but its pretty non the less

  • good job! you did nice work with this piece.

  • Thats the truth

  • you may not be a professional, but you're not bad either. actually, you're pretty good in my opinion. keep it up :)

  • i loved it. oh and btw, ur cute :)

  • Either way, Keep practicing, and you'll be fine one day. PLus youre HOT as hell lol. So you have that going for ya!

  • Comment removed

  • i agree with wearyfootsteps and it wasn't bad. Actually it was awesome. I wish i could play the violin.

  • Very nice! I wish I could play the Violin. Keep up the good work!

  • you figured out the notes by yourself? sheesh, i wish i had that talent. good job.

  • Ok so here's my criticism....You're awesome! that's it lol

  • hi my name is Ailynn and im in 5th grade and im learning how to play violin. I seen the movie pans labyrinth with my mom and always love the melody. I m going to perform in my school and i will love to play this melody but i can't find the music sheet do you mine sharing it with me? I'm writting you from my dad's acount he knows i'm doing this.

  • Good job considering you figured it out without sheet music. I've been playing classical instruments for near a decade now and I still can't figure things out like that. ^_^

  • ammm i dont speak english but i need the acords?? tablaturas??? nots??? i don know how...

    please send me the tabs....

  • Beautiful

    A bit fast tough, but nice

  • Thats really good. As an advanced violin player I say 5 stars :D Your very good ^^ I still cant read sheet music yet but only letters that was fantastic

  • can you send me the notes??? I play too, and wanna learn it :))

  • I love this Music, its only a little bit to Fast..

    and @ all the Haters, if you guys think thats shit, do it better and let me see ;). I wait for Videos Nerds..

  • Comment removed

  • i just think you must make the long notes a little more shorter because you're only one...

  • that was cool! I love hearing things on the violin

  • YOU SUCK..nah, im just kidding that was pretty good, but u made me realize how difficult it is to play a violinlin

  • a vanguard
