Watch me practice: Vivaldi - Summer (allegro)

[@MarijkeViolin]

What's your favourite piece from The Four Seasons? 🌸 ☀️ 🍁 ❄️

[@nocturnallsnake4228]

all the minor key movements=) From all I think this Summer's mov is my fav.

[@plumayray2656]

It feels like when you play quarters they sound like half notes. Once my teacher told me I need to master scales and clear sound and after that move on harder pieces (((

[@nocturnallsnake4228]

​@@plumayray2656 we will always be starting slower.

[@MarijkeViolin]

@@nocturnallsnake4228 Nice! I think I like Summer and Winter most. 😊

[@petromic1947]

This is exactly I was trying to do as a self beginner. Your demo was excellent in slow motion with the moving Red pointer. I was keen to find out the bow movement as well. As you mentioned it is easy to follow the rhythm. Thanks for all the dedicated demonstration .

[@revdrmaafupalu]

Thank you for show us late starters how challenging is it to play the violin. Keep it up

[@erzas556]

Thanks for being authentic and sharing your progress as it really encourages me to practice. I’ve been playing for approximately 5 years and I’m learning on my own which is a real struggle.

[@joannatownley4419]

This is great. Thank you for showing your training with this piece as you are learning it as it is reassuring to know to me that it’s normal to make the same mistakes and to go through these methods and it not be perfect and that the process needs to be gradual. Your progress videos are inspiring, thank you x

[@rodrigog666]

Destaco tu gran esfuerzo y trabajo que has dedicado al violín, especialmente esta pieza música que es bien compleja, gracias Marijke, inspiras.

[@ismailuslu3918]

Thank you for a very useful video. We would love to see more Vivaldi videos.

[@Josuev1902]

Can you make a video telling us about your violin worth and maker ? Do it for the violin nerds (:

[@penultimateh766]

Sounds wonderful! You continue to improve.

[@MarijkeViolin]

Thanks! 🧡

[@alexferreira7321]

Your video helped me a lot. Thanks

[@johnn.crappell9763]

Marijke, I love your videos so much! Nice work hun! God Bless you and please keep sharing your journey! Bye for now.

[@MarijkeViolin]

That's really nice of you to say, thank you! 😊

[@cellobaduk]

6 years already! Time flies...

[@ALRatmosphericmusic]

Beautiful violin solo ! great playing ...

[@Redbunny64]

This is amazing! Showing the build up and progress is simply fantastic!

[@MarijkeViolin]

Thanks a lot! Glad to hear it's insightful. 😊

[@FullTimePatient37]

Hi it's Ruba, do you remember me? I had to stop learning violin due to health decline, I'm very thankful for your help and great advice and now that I'm a YT content creator (different niche), I understand how much work you put into your channel in addition to having to practice 40 hours a day ♥️ thanks for sharing your talent and tips 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 happy holidays 🌷

[@petromic1947]

Can I find out how do you include the red moving pointer along the music note. Is it a software I need to buy. Thanks

[@kalifrago]

Hi Marijke, I love your videos ☺ I am also an adult beginner and play the violin now for 2 and a half years. Please can you tell me, what method/software you use for animating the sheetmusic and insert into the video? Thanks and greets from Germany 😉

[@ScaryMissKippy]

It’s nice to see you practice! I’m just learning and it’s easy to think you are doing bad when you’re actually not 😅 thank you for reminding me that everyone needs to practice and it’s ok not to get it right first time 😊

[@MarijkeViolin]

Exactly! 😊

[@s.manoda]

I see that I have to learn my rudiments of music 😅😅😅 good job thanks for sharing 😄😄🥰😍😍

[@ronsindric4241]

Marijke, have you written or transcribed any music for the violin ?

[@MarijkeViolin]

No, not yet. But I do like to arrange stuff every now and then, or write harmonies on existing material.

[@FighTanK]

i wish i could play the violin, good job!! stay strong and practice

[@MarijkeViolin]

Thanks! ✨

[@7oaohenrique]

Fantastic! thank you so much ! It's a great incentive for those who are still beginners, like me :) I will continue to follow, from Brazil :)

[@MarijkeViolin]

I'm happy to hear that, thank you! ✨

[@alexferreira7321]

Could you send me this sheet music?

[@dvides89]

If this might be useful in any way I would advice you to work on the bowings without the fingers ( especially on the slurs). Even on slow practice you can notice you drag or sometimes neglect the bow altogether mainly because you’re very focused on the left hand. Otherwise even if you’re correcting the intonation on the left hand your bow and sound quality will deteriorate enforcing the wrong pattern and therefore make the whole passage less secure the more you practice it.

[@MarijkeViolin]

Thanks for the tip. :-)

[@pix8342]

Have you been practicing less because it sounds like you're really struggling more with the intonation again. No shade, just genuinely curious. Nice practice video

[@MarijkeViolin]

Practice goes with ups and downs, lately I've been practicing more. Intonation is always a work in progress. Not getting a note right in one go and working towards getting it right is a big part of violin playing in general and what every player deals with. That's why I don't mind showing these parts too.

[@ameliev.5459]

Intonation is much harder in higher parts, especially if the mustle memory isn't there yet. You can actually see her working on Intonation right away - she repeats "failed" notes directly, so the wrong intonation is corrected immediately. Actually a great job!

[@christophertsiliacos8958]

I like your video, but let's not forget the nerdy gurdy. 😉

[@MarijkeViolin]

Haha, no worries! You'll see it again soon. 😏
