Question

I have playing Disney Frozen's "Let it Go", and I just want to know how it sounds. Thanks!

Answer 1

The recording is a little shaky. The background music is soft, while the playing is loud, just so you know. Thanks for your help! : )

Answer 2

Oh, and I know there is a mistake while I was playing, but besides that, I want to know how I sound.

Answer 9

You did a great job @mysangels ^_^
I really like this song :D it's nice to hear a string instrument play it ;)
though since I don't play a string instrument, I can't tell if it's on a violin or a viola xP

Answer 10

"Do you think I need help on anything?"
yes, but ignore me if you don't like what I say.
(there's a reason why string players play more classical than pop)
(because they sound like yodeling cows when they try to play pop)
*coughs*
so... only thing I can say that you got right was only most of the notes and most of the rhythms
-started off really out of tune
-not even ten notes and messed up the notes and rhythm
-the attacks on the notes are too harsh, I would imagine its supposed to be more of a legato articulation
-it's either really out of tune, or the transcription you were playing was a half step off
I've never played a string instrument so I don't know how common it is, but I don't like the squeals between notes
-when holding out longer notes the pitch wavers, making it sound like yodeling
-some of the entrance times are too early
-after your blatant mistake you came in really out of tune
I'm not sure if it was because you were unsettled from making a mistake like that or if it was because you couldn't play the notes in tune to begin with because of the large jump in octave.
-sometimes when you play one note, you would accidentally play another note with it.
-at one point it just wasn't lining up with the background rhythm at all
-the main chorus part was probably your most confident part
-and then I applaud you on that arpeggio line
(since you can do that sort of stuff I suggest you stick to classical)
-but after that, the entrances seem to be all over the place
...
done, that's all I've got to say
most of the comments I gave could be fixed easily with some practice, there was nothing wrong with you technique or tone.

Answer 11

I was just waiting to see what you said. You always get like every little mistake xD

Answer 12

yep sleepy does haha

Answer 13

I play the viola, as you may know already. Thank you for the compliment! @jigglypuff314

Answer 14

@sleepyhead314 Thank you for the "tips" as you may call it. Most of the problems were caused because:
A. I become nervous when I get recorded while playing, and
B. This song has a really fast tempo, wwith TONS of notes. I mean it's 2/2 time! So even if your "suggestions" were a little harsh, thanks for helping!

Answer 15

@TheSaint905621 What is the problem with the file? Other people seem to be getting on the file just fine. And Frozen is a great movie, one of the best Disney movies I have ever seen!

Answer 16

everyone makes mistakes and I'm glad I could help ;P

BUT
it bothers me that you think what you played had "TONS of notes"
that's a bs excuse. I can accept the nervous part, and perhaps say that you didn't practice it enough. but seriously, you think that's a "ton of notes"?!?!
heck I'll use jigglypuff as an example if she doesn't mind
THIS is a TON of notes -> http://javanese.imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/4/45/IMSLP301277-PMLP36133-Fantaisie_Pastorale_Hongroise_-_Flute_Solo.pdf
This is jigglypuff playing it -> https://soundcloud.com/jigglypuff314/doppler-hungarian-pastoral
reference -> http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/539f43bbe4b0206eed0a2b95
it's not perfect, but it's decent. and playable.
you have no excuse to be saying you had been playing lots of notes "fast"

sorry about the rant, but I don't appreciate excuses.

Answer 17

no that is not a lot

Answer 18
