i was in my first month of learning the violin when my teacher gave this to me. now it's the third month, and i've still got a ways to go to sounding that beautiful. i can do vibrato now on the first string tho which is a good start! but i love listening to your version- it helps me a lot with the musicality of the piece. thanks !
I'm playing part of this song in orchestra, and I can't slur that well without making this ugly squeaky noise... u do it so well!!! I don't know, but it's only this one song that I have trouble with slurs haha.
you play so smooth and concise. You make the piece seem very easy to play. I like your version, But you should try it an octave higher, it sounds much sweeter. BTW i'm suprised that was Obligato strings, how long did u have to play for it for it to sound so good.???
How long really depends on each individual: potential of the student, available time to practice, how good the teacher is, encouragements from people around the student, determination of the student etc.
I'd say for average students, it'll probably take several years (perhaps around 5 years) before one can play the violin reasonably well.
@tubbie0075 Hi Thanks, I'm already playing at a good level, well good enough for small concerts & exams!! & stuff. I wanted to know how long the obligato took to break in,or um sound good, I have a set & I find that it sounded dull so i took them out.

Haha.. U say U play by ear...But.. Isnt that a music sheet in the background? Anyway.. Good job.. I like what u did with the song.. Listen to david garretts version(:
@epicpm im dint ask what you play :) but i had play piano for few years ago ^^ dont play more because i dont have space to a grand piano and i cant like the sound from a keyboard :)
I want to start playing violin. I want to learn this :P and more Phantom of the opera and the classics and maybe some rock. I love heavy metal but violin is just so beautiful, what do you recommend I do to start? I play piano, guitar and a bit of drums
very good, but in the beginning i noticed at least, it sounded a bit awkward. just how it sounded to me....you might also be straining the cords a bit. otherwise once again a beautiful arangement
wow! ur really good! im playing this song 4 orcestra! but i dont quite have the whole thing memorized like u do. but still, THAT WAS REALLY GOOD! 1,000,000,000/5!
I played by ear as well. I played it in D major, first few notes:
D String: F# E D E F# G E A
G String: A A
Can you take it from there? You can play the whole song in first position, but if you know how to shift to third position, some places sound better in third position. The very last note is just a natural harmonic on note A (on A string), or you can just play the A note on the E string.
wow this ir really good, it also looks like you play it with passion, keep on playing man, i play too, but im kinda frustrated trying to tune my violin =( , cya
Yes, it helps with a digital tuner and I have one too. But don't rely too much on it. It is not very accurate and one should also train the ear to listen to perfectly tuned 5th :-)
This music is not that hard to play but it does require someone to have learnt the violin for at least 2 or 3 years. Of course, the longer you've learnt, the better it sounds :-)
I love you :)

It starts on the D string.
If you want the sheet you can send me a message. If you are willing to try it out by listening, just try several notes until the sound fits the song.
Good luck!

Tuning is a tricky business. It's takes a long time to teach the ears to listen to the very small differences in pitch.
It's especially frustrating when you change to new strings or live in a place where the weather/temperature keeps changing!
All the best!

buy a digital tuner for violin. Makes it very easy to tune.
