  • Oh what an amusing video!!! Yes, they (you have two) are sooo adorable!!! Oh my goodness! And you sound beautiful! How long have you been playing?

  • @violinsrockdude Thank you!! I have been playing 8 years. Chinchillas are the greatest!

  • wow pretty impressive jasmine I noticed that you were playing without your shoulder rest and your chin rest, and by the way how many pets do you have?

  • @TristArmstrong Thank you! I have two bearded dragons, two chinchillas and I am getting a new puppy in August. My last dog died. You can see him in my previous videos.

  • shoulder rest is not necessary..i think.. yes some chinrests will dampen the sound, depends on where exactly its foots are toching on the violin.if its holding on to the edges of the violin then its fine. i lift my left shoulder and bring it slightly forward as this helps to avoid the need to bend or tilt my neck and head.

  • @paayoub Thank you! I am so glad you made comment about the "restless" issue. I believe in not playing with rests.

see all

  • Funny and totally true!

  • That was a really funny video! Love those pets! that chinchilla is so cute too! OK, back to music .. may I politely suggest you tighten up you vibrato on pieces like "Meditation" ... it's really a bit too wide and powerful for such a gentle and evocative piece .. otherwise, everything excellent! You are doing really well :)

  • @Violinfanatic wow you got a lot pets there jasmine, and yes I know that your last dog died am sorry about your last dog

  • @Violinfanatic interesting! Well I wish you the best of luck. :)
