What's also pretty amazing was that Elizabeth was performing here with a broken bow that she had patched back together. She is one of From the Top's scholarship recipients and was able to buy a new bow with her award.

Elizabeth Aoki, 12 years old now. Began playing at the age of 5 due to persistent begging towards her mom. Taught herself to read sheet music, accepted at Julliard School of Music at age 10 and earned a diploma *In video uses a 3/4 European Violin that is actually 2 inches smaller than a usual Violin.

Taught herself how to read sheet, cool. I am too, but my level of sight reading is not far out of "see jane run, see jane walk, see jane play violin better that you ever will..." If only I was a kid again, and had more Ling Ling.

Amazing and effortless. She slept through the whole piece. She let the music play itself.

Great point! It actually made me to think about the ego the pianist has to sacrifice to put the tiny violinist in spotlight!

She is so in tuned with her instrument that most of this performance was with her eyes closed. Phenomenal discipline and innate understanding of her violin. Bravo!

Me: yeah I'd say I'm a pretty good violinist, Me: *watches this video* Me: Well, time to pack my bags and restart my life as a lonely Norwegian fisherman

Wow! Truly amazing. Her intonation and musicianship is amazing! Not only this, but she nailed the techniques as well. It almost feels like an adult inside a 9-year old's body. Her interpretation was exquisite!

What amazes me, she played like it was nothing.. Piece of cake, a walk in the park, etc.. Bravo....

Only jealousy can make you dislike this

If you don't look at the video you can't say that this is a child playing!!! This is beyond amazing!

O____O There are prodigies, then there is this girl. Truly amazing.

I remember this amazing little violinist. I have never heard her play since then. She would be grown up now.

Just uncredible...she will have a GREAT future

wow she is excellent ! look at the bowing technique !

Truly wonderful, great, adorable, What more? Her amazingly beautiful and perfect sound says more. And she is so sweet. God bless Her, and whoever is her teacher. Unbelievable intonation, bow transition, string crossing, melody............WOW, you find this rarely only in great ones, but at 9 years old, and her face expression is so adorable and serene. Can you please post more of her recordings! The pianist couldn't be any better, great.

I want to cry and hide under my blankets forever. She's so good. I'm like...wtf

wow she is amazingly talented

Amazing !!! She did it with eyes closed. I think she went thru the Zuzuki method. A wonderful performance !

She memorized a 4:30 minute piece of music. Do you know how difficult that is!? Children can have an ability to be in the moment that adults have to work for. I have taught kids with a God given talent where spending hours on a piece is no trouble at all. Not many though. They lose themselves in it. That's the way I feel when I'm playing. Time stops. She is wonderful and if she can keep her head, if her parents can keep their heads, she will be a great performer I think.

Amazing performance for this "tiny violinist"! Bravo!

This is so breathtaking! I can't believe what I'm hearing! And such a wonderfully adorable piece as well. This kid is going to make it big in music performance!

She is fantastic.

One of the very few, who accompanies the little violin whith his big piano quite, so that we can hear the beautiful violinist !

it astonishes me she can produce such a good tone on such a small instrument, interpretation is also really great.

What terrific playing. There are some people who just "get it". She's "got it" about as much it can be got!

lovely to see and to hear..congrats to all..church, family, teachers, pianist,etc.

Thank you darling it was beautiful.

This is definitely incredible. Her skill is in itself amazing..., but the sound? How such a little girl can have such a beautiful sound?

This is incredible! All your notes have such brilliant clarity, tempo and feeling. A beautiful and exciting performance of one of the greatest violin pieces. Definitely a very loud bravo...Well done!!!

Aww, my 10 year old is so proud of herself for taking her grade 1 exam, I daren't show her this, it''ll put her right off! :(

Totally amazing! Her intonation was impeccable.

The girl's face is so calm and the pianist looks like he's suffering :D So funny combination. Really great performance but still i'm wondering how people can see emotions and such... I see practiced piece and hard work. Still, I'm not criticizing. I liked this.

I thought being so young and being so great was impossible 😊👍🏻🔥

Born to Perform & Shine well with the amazing gift! Actually the audience are gifted!!

Amazing. Her tone is fantastic for such a small violin, her intonation is flawless, and she has great musicianship as well, something which most young violinists often lack.

Extracting that tone from that small an instrument is a real accomplisment. Bravo

Her intonation and technique are UNBELIEVABLE

Her pitch is excellent, as is her tone, I'm looking forward to when she hits her teenage years. As a personal thing, I just like defining music and art in general as a form of emotional expression. And yes, her technique does seem to blow most of us out of the water. It's amazing.

wow amazing !!! my heart its broken 😱😱😱 i love her technique

Such an angel, such talent. Bravo!

Absolutely wonderful! Congratulations Elizabeth!

This is gorgeous as is that Beautiful chilld...she's soooooooooo good!!!... Children just put such soul and sentiment into their music....Elisabeth Aoki DEFINITELY does!!!!!!!....Really enjoyed this... Made me happy!!

No words for such a talent...

Amazing and beautifully effortless. To be so immensely talented from such a young age, imagine what she'll be like in her 20s!

She is amazingly amazing! What a talent! Undoubtedly she is going to be one of the greatest next generation violinists.

She's absolutely adorable ...amazing 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Brilliant violin tone and technique. Bravo girl~~

So absolutely amazing for her young age - imagine her ability in another ten years ..!..

This is unbelievable! so inspiring!

Oh my goodness. She is soooo good! Blown away.

playing this piece and realizing how hard it is gives me that much more respect for this little girl

She is accurate and in attack mode. Unbelievable playing. Full mastery of the Violin has already been achieved

How Sweet God Bless You.!!!

Wow! So excited to be able to follow this great talent! Thank you so much !

I am in love with her! What talent!! Just amazing

Wow - BRAVO !!!

Many thanks and all the best!

wow....truly amazing!!!.....at first glance i thought there's no way she could even lift the fiddle to her chin!!!...sweet kid...didn't quite know which way to turn at the end!!

What a great piece for a young violinist to being studying. Full of harmonics and lots of other great sign post for use in fearless shifting and scales. Its a fingerboard music theory lesson for any violinist. Also has some great bowing technic that every young violinist should master. Thank you so much for sharing.

What a sound!!

Never heard anything this much amazing

Bravo! What a performance.

Excellent level of performance. Enjoyed it very much.

I'm totally blew away from her performance!!! She's so talented and amazing!! Gonna follow her!:D

this little dynamo must have started i guess with Suzuki since most (if not all) of the world's most acclaimed violinists who started so young have their violin background with Suzuki. i'm a proud Suzuki student and teacher though i didn't start that young...:) kuddos to this kid!

Bravo Elizabeth Aoki, hope you keep your violin lessons going as you get older.

Bravo, Elizabeth. Bravo!

I see lots of wunderkinds on television, most on talk shows. While all demonstrate talent beyond their years, this one plays like and adult, heads and tails above the others. Wow!

SHE IS FANTASTIC.

Awww so amazing and cute at the same time ❤️❤️❤️

simply amazing

She's sacrament gifted, she will be at the top later! play with young people like them, it is a delight (for the pianist or other). there is talent. I personally am too late to master the violin. but working with a lot of hour or to have a gift, it is not within the reach of all ... sniff! thank you for sharing and congratulations to this little girl.

She's amazing! I play the violin too,but I can barely play like her. Such a precious child with an amazing gift! :)

Absolutely fantastic.

Simply amazing!!

I saw this in person and little Elizabeth was just so cute and talented. She is a tiny little girl and her violin looked like a toy, so CUTE, but when she started playing the sound filled the theater, really something and a real treat!

She hut the vibrato perfectly ... and it amazed me ...
