I did it! I finished my first year on the violin! Well, January 22nd was a year, so I guess I'm a little late.
So to celebrate I thought I should post a video of me playing.
The pieces I played
Russian Sailor's Dance
Crystallize
Song of a Caged Bid
Â
I also got invited to join my areas honor Orchestra as a 1st violinist. It was a great year! Hopefully this year will be even better.
Â
(And maybe, just maybe I'll actually slide to the note I'm trying to get to)

That's not just impressive for one year of playing, it's impressive, period.
When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low,
I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow.

Very well done. Â Keep it up and you will go far.Â

madbill Wow, thanks for downloading that and watching it! 7 hours O.o
Â
@Uzi Thanks for the encouragement 🙂
Â
@Kim D Like a prodigy. I could get used to that lol. Good luck on vibrato!
Â
@makinnoise Which song? I spent about 2ish weeks on Crystallize (All of it, not just the segment I played), about a month on Song of the Caged Bird, and a week on Russian Sailors Dance.
Offline
oh yeah, guess I left that part out. Meant to say for Crystallize. I just found the sheet music for it. I think I will start working on it too. Great job on the bowing and string crossings, I could see that being a little tricky in the piece!

Happy Anniversary and the sky is truly the limit.

My neighbors probably want to strangle me for all the noise I've been making. But hey, "no pain, no gain" right? Except, they feel the pain and I get the gain (I'm really sorry, neighbors :-S)
