On the issue of "swaying." It's good, but not when you sway to sway, or sway with the beat. Move with the music. Example- you have an up bow and are increasing the volume, if you do it properly, your body should naturally move as weight is transfered.
Vibrado could make that quite a lovely piece. Get a little wiggle in there and it could actually make a big difference! I can't really see your bowhand very well, but, I suspect it is quite tense. Loosten it up and it will also help. Perhaps play with your pinking sticking out from the bow, yes, it will look wierd, but will help you lossten the wrist tremendously.
Don't listen to ComradeLance. If you sway then you sway if you try and stop your self from swaying then you won't enjoy the music and thats what it's all about. Just play the music and enjoy. Very well played
It needs touching up here an there, but still very good. going off "feeling the music" I notice you shift around while playing, I also do that, try positioning your body in certain ways to help the music sing out louder.
that was good. some small mistakes but that was good. the last notes, i would've like it to last but a tad-bit longer with vibrato but that was good! keep it up!
it would probably have been better couple of years later :p

violin is such a hard instrument!
Anyways it was definetly not bad, but it sounds a little...dry
I guess more feeling would be nice. I play violin too but sometimes it's hard for me to get the right sound -_-

Good intonation. Applying vibrato to it would have added more emotion to the piece.
Still a good effort, though.

Good posture! Your arm motions are fine, I think that your only problem is fingering, and be sure to press down a bit more on those high notes

Need you fix bow hand and overall posture :) Try to use the entire bow, meaning play all the way to the frog during whole-bows.

good- need to work on tuning- and also get rid of that squeking, partly due to the bow. And make sure fingers are firm :)

Keep practicing. And focus on playing for yourself more. The audience is just along for the ride. ; )
