One more important thing about bowing is using the weight of the arm to get more bow pressure, especially at the tip. Putting more weight on the bow when you approach the tip will give you an even volume rather than dwindling at the tip and swelling at the frog.
Finally, do a posture check. I can't see your left hand, but make sure your fingers aren't flat over the fingerboard- they should be arched.
Props to you for having the courage to post this on Facebook. I doubt any of your critics would ever attempt anything that requires musical skill, much less post it for all to see.
As a violin player of almost seven years, I have a few easy tips that will greatly improve not only your technique, but your overall sound. First, get used to playing 4th finger E instead of open E. The sound will be much less harsh. Also, improving your bow hold will make playing much more comfortable.
you were good, but you need a bit more practice. A lot of notes were off, I mean this piece was actually pretty good for a beginner. just practice a bit harder, LOTR songs are after all masterpieces and are hard to perfect, good luck!
I don't know how to play violin and I was recently given one by my uncle for Christmas. I found a video on a program and wasn't sure if it was worth the money of not? Claims that you can Learn to play violin in 30 days, Master the Violin, quickly and Now. Look forward to some feedback.w w w (dot) getgoodreviews (dot) com/go/violin_lessons (dot) php
i dont care how he played, i can watch and enjoy this video without sound, read everybody his face! He loves what he does and he enjoys it GREATLY and he tries very hard! thats enough for me.
your F#'s should be naturals. try tuning your violin before playing. to be honest though, you arent tthat bad. but i'll be straight up, i played better than that after a year of playing...
This isn't too bad, I'm interested in how long you've been playing, however?
Are you sight reading?
Your posture could use some work, as well as your intonation and bow control... I would also suggestion shifting to 2nd or 3rd on the A string instead of using an open E. And perhaps adding in vibrato. But not a lot! Because, I think that, Rohan needs a slightly flat sound, too.
BUT!
I like your sound, and I think that you have excellent potential! Good job.
ok not trying to be rude... i have played the violin for 10 years now. Try putting some vibratto in there, would soften it up some. Also, i would practice way more before trying to record, it was really sharp sounding
it great, and i play the violin to, but have played five years since 2nd grade, but remember to keep the violin parallel to the floor it is also my biggest mistake when i first learned
Okay, but you might want to work on your ntonation as it sounds a little flat. The music also sounds a little rough so you might want to try to smooth out your booth...but keep up the good work!
When playing a piece, of which you already know how it should sound; play and listen to your own notes, and correct the tuning of individual notes whenever needed.
It doesn't sound quite like the movie, but I've got to say you did'nt do too bad. I think that you need multiple violins to cover any individual blemishes. plus numbers gives power to the chorus. If thats what you call it.

all those people who criticize those who say what is wrong with his performance, should realize that, that criticism is likely to come from someone who knows what they are talking about
ur doin great, but once u can really get that good bowhold, u will be fantastic! also, you should consider re adjusting your shoulder rest. you want it nice and snug so that your NECK can comfortably hold it. you seem to be using mostly your hand to hold it up, which makes it harder to get good sound. =P
pretty good! heres a tip for ur bow hold: try tilting your hand forward for more control.your index finger shour curl over the bow and touch your thumb thru the center and ur mid and ring finger lower on the frog. ur lil finger should be the only one gently resting at the tip.
I want to say something. I really like it when people give tips and advice. Really, all you guys are what makes Youtube great. Not the idiots trying to put somebody down.
wow really nice. Don't give up, your going really well, just some tips:
Try flexing your wrist when you move your bow, it makes the notes sound a bit smoother and you have a bit more conrtol. (I dont know if it was intentional) but try pulling your stand a bit higher, so when you read the notes you body stays upright and in a nice position. Othre than that really well done.
you got to make it your own, its too stiff, no vibrato, your just playing notes and not music. send me email and i can send you backing tracks for all the songs. Keep up the violin its difficult, but its best instrument
This music is hard to play good im told. But you did well. You may have missed a few notes but it happens. Ive just started so this is way better than me XD
Its alright for people to critise so you can find your weakpoints to improve, but when people say: "its crap" without stating why... i get annoyed of them, they are usually the ones who cant even play a triangle..
Anyway, best of luck, id like to see some more of your work, perhapes on a more violin friendly song?
i love this song, your good at it :] whats the name of the book you got that from because i am a violin player myself and i have been looking all over for that song :]
JAJAJAJJAJAJJAJAJJAAJAJJAJAJAJAJA! The metaphor of using an expensive violin that is meant to create music and pleasant sensations for harming a little brother... Interesting
thats realy good, i love the bit at 46 secs when u burst into the main riff (i dunno if its called a riff in violin for anyone gets anal aobut it) im gonna start to play, this is one of the tunes i want to learn.
I was only that good at one point. Keep at it, make sure you play that as a low 1st finger on the e string, :P I don't know shit about note names, what I do know that You know everything suzuki has to offer by book 6, advancing to 7 means nothing-and just because you can play "anything" in suzuki doesn't mean that you can play it well, looking back when I stopped with Suzuki, I was the worst violinst ever ; ;
who gives a shit whether he needs more vibratto?? u probably just sed that to sound like u knew a lot. i like it, it doesn't matter if its not perfect.
er...you need more vabrato...and your not hitting the notes very well. What book you studie from? Sazuki? Sazuki really helps. I'm only 13 and i'm on book 7. If i had a video camera i would record myself.
What does age matter when studying an instrument. Sure it sounds good but what matters is how long you've been studying the instrument. If you were 13 and started last year, then sure that's amazing, but quite rare. So hush up, kid.
We're playing this same exact song for our Spring Concert. We suck. A lot. It sounds really cool on trumpet, though (of course, they do get the melody for more than half the song, stealing alto sax's thunder)!
whoa, dude...plz...stop with the open string sound...sorry, not trying to offend you or anything...and I'm not saying that I'm a good violinist either. But, if you play long notes with open string...you ruin the whole entire song! and if you can play this song in not just one position...that would be even better. and why don't you add some vibrato in it too...I played this song too...and I just uploaded it in youtube...you can go and check it out. Well...hope you will get better!
i think you do a great job. ur attentiveness really reminds me of how i was once into the violin. haven't practiced for a long time now. anyway, thanx
words of wisdom (not that I'm any good at the violin---i quit lessons like 5 months ago) you might want to tilt your violin to the side just a tad more. This way it's easier to see your music and to move your fingers =]
Cool. I'm just learning violin too, but I can give you some good advice: don't collapse your left wrist towards the neck. Keep it nice and strait (in line with the rest of your arm) for first position.
Bow arm is pretty nice, but keep the bow nice and straight vertically. Practice this in front of a mirror. It works wonders. Keep it up!
Violin is not easy, so I appreciate your effort! Also, great music

words of wisdom (not that I'm any good at the violin---i quit lessons like 5 months ago) you might want to tilt your violin to the side just a tad more. This way it's easier to see your music and to move your fingers =]

Cool. I'm just learning violin too, but I can give you some good advice: don't collapse your left wrist towards the neck. Keep it nice and strait (in line with the rest of your arm) for first position.
Bow arm is pretty nice, but keep the bow nice and straight vertically. Practice this in front of a mirror. It works wonders. Keep it up!
