You don't have to be playing paganini concertos at the age of 7 to enjoy violin and so many people forget that (including myself, who's also not a prodigy)! Coming from someone who's been playing violin for almost eight years now, your commitment is admirable! It takes a lot of dedication to continue something for a long time

Great to finally see a non-prodigy video! You are doing good. One needs to keep in mind that being on stage means you show much less than you are able to play at home. Keep it going! Nice to have a reference of real life. Playing 12 years now but with a huge break in between. Would rate myself a bit below your playing.

Talent,genius,prodigy... those are just meaningless words. *Interest* and *discipline* is what matters. I wish you good luck ❤.

Nice! We don’t have to be geniuses, we can just be players. Congrats on your award though, That’s a bonus

I don´t know why, but i’m just really happy to see this video, to see someone who is not perfect, but wants to be… well, at real, nobody is perfect and if you someday want to be it, you’ll never. Keep going, be happy with this beautiful instrument, its unique, and i hope you grow so much one day that you’ll be proud of yourself❤ (sorry for the bad english😅)

Особливо сподобався дуэт Violine & Viola "Щедрик" композитора Леонтовича. Дякую!

I like going back and listening to what I used to sound like. It inspires me to continue getting better. I have only been playing for four years and you really can tell the difference.

Absolutely! I do it too and sometimes it felt that it has been a long time. I have played for about 6yrs now

Thank you so much for sharing this video, it's really inspiring. I hope you'll still be playing and practising after your ten years!

This was really nice to see. I started playing when I was ten and it’s been five years since. I’ve always been above average in how quickly I progress, but never anything crazy, while my teacher has students much younger than me that’ve progressed so quickly they’ve surpassed me in half the time. I’ve started to grow more confident in my playing but just now after all my spring concerts I’ve felt very discouraged and like I’m so far behind. You’re playing feels a bit similar to my own, and I’m glad to see a different great violinist other than the usual five year old ones in my recommended!

lmao, love that you add that "non-prodigy" in the title

This was pretty cool, I played the Bach double with a friend of mine very recently with an orchestra accompaniment and it was a fantastic experience. Moments I will never forget.

Hats off for your years of dedication and commitment ❤. Congradulation!!!!

Thank you for sharing your journey. I hope I'll have the courage to share my playing one day as well 😊

bro had a massive glow up thru his journey in violin and his looks as well🤭

Congratulations. Every effort receives its reward.

I started trumpet in 5th grade, and im bouta be in 7th grade in 4 months. I can already play high school stuff, and I get so much praise from my band teachers and my classmates. Im planning to be a musician one day. Btw im your 100 sub

This is awesome, finally something i can relate to. I was beginning to worry that my progression was slow compared to the norm. 10 years on the violin as well and im around this level.

tbh 7 is still very young to learn the violin (at least to me) I'm 14 and I just started learning the violin idk if I can ever be good

You are still very young. Keep practicing. By the time you are 24 you can say that you have been playing for ten years. Time will fly very fast, do what you love

Well done, thank you for sharing.

Dude, thank you so much

I truly enjoyed it!

Muito bom, quebrando a barreira de que todos pensam que temos que ser melhor que todos, e acabamos esquecendo de nos respeitar e aproveitar nosso próprio desenvolvimento ❤ o belo é darmos nosso melhor e viver os momentos

Keep it up brother!

i appreciate this video

Great😊❤🎉

Though I am a pianist, I thought this was impressive. I started late at thirteen so I see similarities between my story and this story. Also I like the Choice of Bach. Bach, Beethoven, and Scriabin are my favorites. Prokofiev too for his piano concerto op 16. Good job!!

There's no need to be a prodigy to enjoy and share music.. and still have space to enjoy other aspects of life.. You seem to be on the right track 😊 Bach double played well

As someone who played as a kid and soft retired (forced so not a sad moment) I found church music to generally be easier than the Suzuki stuff and prolly worth trying now. Most churches I've seen want the congregation singing and so pick easier pieces for people to sing, which usually translates into pieces that don't have huge pitch changes, aren't super fast, etc. On top of the obvious Christmas stuff like the first noel, I'd recommend Ave Maria as an early goal (found it got played very often in small/special masses like weddings or funerals) and meditation as a long term goal (may be short, not sure where you stand right now) Good Luck!

Bravo!

Keep it up dear violin friend, you're perseverance will always be rewarded!
