Is this what they call the air violin?

[ChristianMusician247]

I can NOT wait to see what a wonderful musician Jonathan grows up to be!

[YaVasilisa]

What a joy to watch his face!

[firemaam129]

I just LOVE seeing the joy and focus on his little face!

[milklauz]

this is too cute!

[cola709394]

He's doing the right fingerings as well!!!

This is brilliant! My orchestra conductor showed us the video of Jonathan conducting Beethoven's 5th symphony. What a talented kid you have, I'm sure you're all very proud of him!

Всё-таки Душа Джонатана - Душа Великого Дирижёра!!!

[GorgeousButterflies]

[chelseasleep]

....except his fingering is mostly correct....he obviously plays

[chelseasleep]

yep, pretty much what I used to do in orchestra....but with a real fiddle!

How could you not smile with Jonathan sitting next to you? Jonathan is a very impressive boy.

[jfluter]

If a kid did this with me in rehearsal, I'd be tickled pink!

[pmowl68]

AND! The guy sitting next to Jonathan is so sweet!

[pmowl68]

So precious! He obviously knows parts. His bowing arm is pretty on all the time which means he knows the piece in his head. I love to watch Jonathan.

it is a light at the end of mine tired day , to can share this violin-feast from Jonathan in the orchestra ! To see him , music all over, playing his imaginaire violin ! And playing together, with his neighbour in the orchestra ! Knowing the composition by head !

I want to say with Beethoven's 9th symf. : "Freude schöner Götterfunken!"

Thanks so much to the people who had given him the chance ! Greetings from Cora of Amsterdam !

I think we all have to help Jonathan get good violin.

I just bought for him 2 bows to replace his not good one.Can we all get together and organise the account to collect the money for good violin??

[majah07]

oooh sooo cute and adorable! :)

[TakiariMeyrimo]

I just love how he sometimes plays the 2nd violin or cello parts. He knows the whole piece from beginning to the end!

[Sonia1937]

I am so glad to see Jonathan getting the chance to play under the tutelage of the St. Petersburg String Quartet. Between Boris for the conducting, and Alla for the violin, he is in superb hands. Bravi to his parents. His talents are well directed.

[belmany]

lol, sweet, he's using a baton as a bow. What's the substitute violin?

[esenuk]

@belmany His baton case.

[lindaw6111]

[katemahalhk]

[heybeli13]

[sarahdaisy]

[weesook1]

Jonathan needs a Stradivarius!

[grandmagrumpy]

You're KIDDING!  Wow!

[grandmagrumpy]
