  • Well done!

  • Why some guys watch and then dislike this?

    Nobody enforces them and this is just a progress video.

    There is no problem.

    Keep practicing Arielle!

  • mmmm.. keep practicing :D

  • considering the level she seems to be on, she plays the piece pretty well

  • It's not her.. it's the violin. :L

  • What is the name of this song? pls :) , :X :X

  • What is the name of this song? pls :) , :X :X

  • What is the name of this song? pls :) , :X :X

  • ok so its not perfect, but she's in 8TH GRADE. That's amazing!!! By the way, I'm an 8th grade teacher and in the tens of thousands of middle school orchestra student's I've seen, I'd say she's comfortably in the top 15 percent, maybe even 10%. Good for her!

  • Nice! Keep it up! I am playing the violin as well and I wish I had started at such a young age. I am 37 years old and playing for 3 years now :) 

  • mmmm i smell jail bait

  • how many grades are there in America?

  • @gothips 5 some times 6 for elementry, 2 or 3 for middle school, and then 4 for high school. which means there are 12 and obviously more if you count preschool, kindergarden, and college.

  • the stupid accompaniment is trying to be louder than the violin :$

  • I'm not familiar with how should one play in different grades but I personally think she did good.

  • Maybe she start playing violin too late...?

    I dont know, but at 8th grade she must play more difficult compositions...

  • @Luicarry You can never start too late. I didn't start playing violin til I was nine, which some people would consider "too late", but seriously, there is never an age that is "too late". You can always improve no matter when you start. However, you can start too early & get burned out from trying to do too much, too fast.

    She has beautiful clear tone and smooth string changes. Nicely done :)

  • Ya know to all the haters...I challenge you to pick up a violin and attempt to make any sort of decent sound from it. it takes years to even be able to create a pleasing tone, let alone to master it. Cut her some slack, it's just youtube

  • @Lodermeier88

    some people just can't separate reality from youtube, heheheeh!

    thank you.

  • SORRY...I DON'T LIKE THIS...8TH GRADE...AND WHAT ARE YOU LEARNING?

    Sorry...but this is for babies...Excuse me... :S

  • I think she is cute ^_^

  • whoevers playing the piano sucks. alls they doing is hitting one note. wow....it sounds like dumb like a baby LOL

  • @violinplayer33 what do you mean hitting one note?

  • thier only hitting one note the piano player!!

  • i liked her right leg

  • i don't listen I just look at her....

    haha..LOL...

    just joking...nice piece.

  • wow this sucks outloud....

    LOL

    just kiddingggg haha

    Sounds amazing, keep up the good work :D

  • lasy arms :x this is wad i always do ... resting the albow on the body hehe

  • cool tune!!!

  • any one knows name of this song?

  • bad posture

  • :) nice

  • very nice

  • she's slouching

  • face the people

  • nice

  • nice body~~

  • cool cool cool !!

  • que flaca jejje

  • me gustaria saver como se llama esa melodia, ojala alguien sepa.jajamuy bueno.

  • Eu com uma professora dessa aprendia ligeirinho. Muito linda. Parabens!

  • that's cool

  • como se llama??

  • Her bowing technique is very good, even if there are slight problems with intonation.

    Keep learning! :D

  • cood the penus stop pounding the keys on the piano so hard so we cood hear the violin better?....gaaaaa

  • hahahah!!!

  • That's what she said.

  • never mind the looks, totaly awesome playng, violin is hard, what was that song?

  • I must say that her playing is incredibly charming, firm, secure, very promising, I would keep an eye on her, and not lose sight, she is full of promise, and yes, innevitably one must comment on her blossoming child-girl figure, incredibly beautiful, she, for all I can see, could upstage Anne Sophie Mutter in the near future, let us hope she finds the treasure in herself and her musicianship, all the best,

  • Good job. Stay with it. :)

  • I would recommend never wearing heals when perform. I know they may look nicer than flats but you want to always have your weight balanced when playing and have a feeling of freedom of movement. Not a feeling of fear because you're thinking your heal may fall out from under you.

  • Hey, that is one solid piece of good advise that I would haver never ever dreamed about, but, now that you mention I always thought of female musicians as looking or dressing slightly odd for they almost never used heels. now I know, and what is best I know why, thanks a lot, cheers and all the best

  • here, have a medal.

  • good pitch

  • She's certainly better than half ALL of the nith graders that come to my school from eighth grade...she's got a really good bow arm, her left hand is pretty decent (of course, she's probably learned vibrato by now) and the notes were well enough in tune. The only thing I can say with any sense of authority on the subject is to stand up straighter. It seems all her weight is being put into her torso.

    Good job, and I hope she's still playing.

  • im in 7th grade and i could play that in 5th grade!

  • lol

  • Well aren't you special?

  • good for you, keep ot up.

  • Who cares? (to mmoolly)

  • wonder what she is learning now

  • ..............................­....

  • music school?

  • ....

  • let me guess

    what ur thinking is......

    she got a nice body

    but the song sucks

    we could play better

    (dont take it personal girl thats playing)

  • hahahaha idk y its funny

  • yeah she should at least move her hips or something way too still

  • Your figure is not bad. I think that you will grow up to be a sexy young lady. You have very nice and beautiful hair too.

  • Hey man, we're commenting on her violin skills, not her figure...

  • It does not matter...what I comment on..Her violin is ok for the beginner stage...however, as I have said before...it is her figure which captivates me.

  • pedophile...

    the girl is in 8th grade

  • Your a perv seriously yehudimilstein. She's only a middle schooler and yet your talking about having sex with her when she gets older! Someone ought to lock your sick pedophile ass in the slammer for the rest of your nasty horny life you sick son of a bitch.

    Go to hell.

  • yes, she is a stunning girl, but a girl, we all can see she is going be the heartbreake of quite a few lads, but it is profoundly distasteful to take things any further, she is a pretty-pretty-pretty girl and that is that,

  • well this video is 2 years old, but there looking at her at that age so ya....SHE IN THE 8 GRADE PEOPLE GET A LIFE

  • I've been playing for a couple years now. I think that was amazing. Screw those guys with their idiotic view on how everyone should be world champ, you did very well girl, keep it up. You get better the more you play.

  • everybody has an opinion. we take what's good and throw away the bad. thanks for the positive, i appreciate it. this video was taken over 3years ago. she's been playing better and is now 1st chair, 2nd string violin in her high school orchestra.

  • cool so i guess she what a 9 or 10 thats 1 chair 2 vln, i was too but now im a 11th n 2 chair 1 vln, tell her to keep it up

  • Excellent news, all the best¡¡¡¡¡

  • Yeah, cut down on the open strings and figure out vibrato. Everything sounds better with vibrato. I wouldve hated to live in Baroque times when nobody used vibrato. You also have to put feeling into it. Even if you have a simple piece like that, feeling could make it sound much better. Violin is one of the hardest instruments to let your passion come through on. Keep working, and good luck.

  • there are appropriate times to use vibrato and open strings, not all styles of music or certain phrases would necessarily sound better with it. but I agree with feelings, could do more of that.

  • one way to improve: cut the open strings

    I guarantee you will sound better. If you have double stops on open strings, I suppose you could shift to third position.

  • how is that a solo?

  • dang! i tried to play one once

  • Good job!

  • This is so good for a beginner like u =]

  • what song is that?

  • Such a great solo! She made that violin sound like a piano.

  • you're so stupid

  • LOL

  • im in 8th grade too thats pretty good! lol

  • im in year 8 as well

    do u use vibrato? jus wonderin

  • jajaja so cool the song is great, and you play good, you havent too much time playing maybe 8 or 10 mounths so, CONGRATULATIONS, you good!!! (i think more than me, and i have 9 mounths :S). bb GL

  • LOL

  • She is hot,somebody give me her phone number!

  • ok... feet not in a box, shoulders should be back, chin way up, and dont be afraid to move that bowing arm around more... and experiment with your vibrato... as forte as u played this, a lil vibrato here and there would help accent those crescendos... uh....ya... i play a lil lol.

  • i totaly agree as a voilinist what you say it totlay true :D carry on

  • And I presume you move like Janine Jansen eh? Ya...I thought so.

  • I doubt this is a grade 8 piece. And the tune sounds like one of those childrens trains at a theme park that doesn't stop going around

  • what the hell is grade 8

  • 1st year of highschool o_O

  • LOL, yea,agree with u, sounds lyk those songs lyk twinkle twinkle little star type of song,childrens playing games- rooller coaster,etc.

  • nota dez linda abs :: made Brazil

  • Amazing and beautiful!! ^.^

  • i hope i"ll be playing like this in a few months... i"ve never played on violin before...

  • I keep staring at ur shoes, i think i have the same pair...

  • me too

  • me too

  • Nice video! And she is beatiful!

  • ahaha....i couldn't help but loling =D

    It's out of tune that it's simply pricelessly great.

  • Shes not anorexic, Shes pretty and amazing !

  • amazing...

  • WHAO !!! UNBELIEVEABLE

    really great

  • wat a wierd posture

  • which vibrato..?

  • wow her vibrato actually ruined the notes

    of the music

  • lol not even a vibrato in the whole thing hehe

  • very nice legs indeed

  • If this is a sight reading test, it is good but .....

  • tocas bien, de echo muy bien pero tu postura es fatal, y por la ropa no le beo incombeniente musica es musica te pongas lo que te pongas

  • OMG :PPPP

  • your really good teach me plz lol!!!

  • a la chica le interesa mas el vestuario de como esta tocando

  • very well done- but i have some comments. try using vibrato, fourth finger (so that your arm doesn't flail around), watch your flats and sharps- they're getting a little squeaky at points- and try more dynamics. Making some points quite and others loud makes the song less boring. ^_^ the good comments: you have very good posture and played the song like a pro!

  • wow..that was pretty coool. ive got to try this

    ive got a solo contest coming up 2, im playing the Boccherini Minuet. Ive been playing for a year and a half. if maybe whoever played in this video may help me..that was would be awesome. =]

    this was great! sounds completely prepared and quite pro!

    i also suggest vibrato. =]

  • the notes look too short to add a decent vibrato

  • Could've on the quarter notes.

    the style gets boring, as does the song.

    besides that, good job, I suppose.

  • OMG, you ARE good, but I suggest trying out verbrado. You remind me of a beast violinst I know, and she memorized this (no lie) 8-min song, and played the WHOLE thing without mistake. At a concert. That is truly amazing xD

  • it's vibraTo

  • pretty good. how long have u been playing?

  • suggestions aside, shes very talented.

    make sure she stays with it, its the best decision i've made.

  • ignore people who expect perfection at such a young age. I've been playing violin for about 10 years now, and she's much better at some things than I am.

    kinda boring song, i might suggest something by Handel which requires much more mood put into it, and even requires more advanced positions. There will be less fast notes, but its clear she's very good at those, so i'd suggest something different to teach her to put some heart into the music. Try Allegro Concerto Grosso Number 6.

  • eh

    it's alright

    the song's..gets kind of boring

    you might want to work on your tone, intonation and technique style

    and try not to play so many open strings

    and to dramagirl487:

    i'm in 8th grade RIGHT NOW, and i've only been playing since 5th grade, and i'm considered the best in my school, and one of the better players at the high school, so therefore, age doesn't matter, nor does the year of playing when it's more than 2 years

  • çok güzel...

  • well, i think it's immediate song?? i heard double stops.. quite nice.. but lack of dynamics, and movements.. Feel de song, make it different

  • yyyyyyyyyyyyiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!­

  • This is a very good effort. But how did it get 22K hits?

  • It's because of her legs.

  • hahahaha

  • true say LOL

  • hahahahhhaha,true.

    but,omfg,his only 8?

    omg i will go to jail.... :S

  • Wow you are wayyy better than i am and ive played for 8 years. Cute dress and shoes. I wish my orchestra dress looked like that.

  • ? Accompaniment

  • ta buena ...le doy

  • Have confidence. You could have done much better.

  • I thought it was really good. And I don't care what anyone says I doubt they cold do better and if they could they should be ashamed cause I bet they were at this level once. I'm getting a violin soon and I was just looking around and saw this. I thought it was nice.

  • SHE'S terribly bad at the violin?

    I'd like to see you guys try that!

    Great job at playing. Ignore these people.

  • ur hot, but that song was boringgg, not saying ur bad or anything

  • dude she's about 12 years old!

  • thank you! yes, she was 12 back then.

  • This is 8th grade? for which examinations? or do you mean 8th grade at school? Her tone could be a lot smoother but shes quite cute... or maybe i just have a thing for chicks playing string instruments.

  • yeah...please giv me your adress! :))

  • cool! and it might just be the angle of the camera but she is so skinny! hehe but yeah i liked it!

  • everything in fisrt position? on your level now, u can do something much more diffcult than that. tell your teacher!

  • wow..that's easy

  • J'ai regardé jusqu'au bout car elle est ravissante cette JF. (elle joue pas mal aussi) Le violon n'était pas bien accordé. Le piano peut vraiment faire mieux...

  • wow,shes gooddddddd

  • Where can i get the music sheet ?

  • i wish i could do that. i will do that...someday...

  • wow she's one of the most beautiful people i've ever seen *_*

    and she plays so well =D

    well.. maybe there could be more feeling in it, but it's great altough =D

  • just looking,

    Wow, I hope to play this good one day.

    theSam!!

  • she's pretty good..nice tone and intonation...try some virbrato girl...to make the notes less squeaky :) great job! keep it up

  • im very aware :)

  • :) im not satanic lol, 666 is the oly number that came to mind :). but it does offend me that you stereotype me based on my name. if i were satanic i would hate all, which in fact i love all, especially my family andmy animals. im very much christian :)

  • no offense intended, sorry. i just want to know if u're aware of the number, that's all.

  • i dont play for a symphony :) im in high school, istarted playing when i was in the 2nd grade i think. but ive greatly improved, and yeah i make mistakes lots of them haha. but she has great potential

  • nice violin playing, so thats grade 8? must have taken some time to aquire the skills to perform like that

    and yes, jesus does love u, not just 666 but everyone so i dont think that theres any need to say it specifically though

  • JESUS a cute girl who plays violin.

  • hahaha u suck

  • i don't even know u but i think u need Jesus in ur heart.

  • nice playing!!

    next time put the camera in another angle so we can see your face while playing.

    Could you play some Bach? that'll be great

    bye

  • no, she's not self conscious about her outfit, in fact, she's comfortable, we live in hawaii. i'll keep ur comment in mind, thank you.

  • That was very lovely playing, but I wonder if she'll do even better if she isn't so self-conscious about her dress and heels? Maybe she could wear something less revealing, and keep herself in flat shoes during performances...for now, at least. Less to worry about while she's perfecting her craft.
