  • good but is there any way you could have gotten the backround noise out

  • im someone who is about to just start attempting to self teach the violin, what would you suggest?

  • @Lity10

    I have the cvn 200 and it's awesome I love the sound and I'm very happy with the price. Just get better rosin and a better shoulder rest and you're all set.

  • do you know how to read music? because i'm buying a violin spur of the moment. i want to play it but i have absolutely no idea how to read music. i learned how to play the piano like that but i hear its different.

  • wow..i was amazed bcoz u learned from ur own.. :) i think i can teach my self too.. :)

  • Great job! 

  • im not tryin to be mean in any way but when i was younger lyk when i was in the 7th grade i wouldnt bow straight so my teacher told me to stay against a wall to that way i could only move my elbow im now in the 11 grade and i still do this no joke this maybe u should try this as well its very help full

  • brilliant 10 stars

  • your fingers are nice and long :P i always have hard time to place my little finger lol

  • I am very inspired by you.I am also trying to teach myself to play the violin! It is confusing at times,but I hope to get better.And learn from you possibly!

  • wow youre an inspiration! i need your determination...

  • very good, but as a tip use longer bow strokes, it makes it sound so much better no matter what you're playing

  • you're very good student(not learning w/ a teacher) i guess this will be a good example for future students. Keep on doing the good deed.

  • hahahah

    my teacher also hasn't taught me how to do a vibrato

    but she was surprised when I did it in front of her correctly

    heheheh

    I also taught myself how to do it

    so

    well

    it's the spirit that it takes to learn an instrument

  • wow im on suzuki book 3 and i still haven't mastered vibrato

  • your fine dispite other comments . The more you practice your ear and brain will connect to the violin your learnig. The more resources you use enriches your experience believe me.

     I am a self taught jazz violinist for a very long time. Still use and learn from all the input I can get. learning to read music. I would suggest every once in a while take a few lessons to get pointers on playing, it can be helpful.

  • When I first heard how you play, I am amazed because I am actually hearing a vibrato, which is self taught. However, I still feel that you need a fuller vibrato, with even crests. You will later realize that the movement you are doing during your pure vib exercises is actually the same while you are playing pieces. Just make sure to mimic all of the movements and try hard to integrate this into your piece. One best practice I had is to play the scale with 4 crests of vibrato in each note.

  • It's pretty cool how you learned on your own, but it looks like you need some tips.

    On the vibrato, you should NEVER shake your are, or shake anything at all. It should be a fluid, and most importantly a NATURAL motion of the hand. It more like a wrist technique.

    The trick is to move your hand toward your body when starting the vibrato as in moving your knuckles toward your face. And of course practice vibrato slowly. Try not to be stiff.

    Keep up the good work.

  • Yeah, I realize I'm really stiff in this vid, very different from when I'm practicing pure vibrato exercises (thanks to violinmaniac vid). Guess doing vibrato in a piece is slightly harder than just practicing single notes.

    Btw, I'm doing arm vibrato so my arm has to 'shake' (versus wrist vibrato). Maybe this is what you meant.

    Anyways, thanks for the tips!

  • hmm.. you're very good! Im also a self-taught beginner and i think ill challenge you to a youtube duel-off if you're up for it :P I've been teaching myself the violin for the last two months and i think ive got a fancier vibrato than you! if ur up for it ill link you a clip when ive recorded it :)

  • @enduril122 Nice, what violin is that?

    Im thinking of buying a Cecilio 200 CVN. Do you think it's worth the money (about 100$) for a complete beginner? Thanksin adavnce !:P

  • awesome man. i'm learning for abt 5 months plus to 6. and you sound very nice on the violin

  • Hi, i guess you need a teacher. its about 25USD per hour. Hmmm your vibrato is just fine, but it appears a lil stiff, it happens on first few months of learning. Not bad
