Scars To Your Beautiful Alessia Cara Violin Cover Top40Strings 2016-11-18 | This song really resonates with me because I remember being an awkward teen with low self-esteem thinking I would never be beautiful. What happened over the years since then wasn't that I became more beautiful but rather that I started embracing my own uniqueness and gained confidence through that. I'm so glad that Alessia is paving a way for the younger generation, reminding you all to love yourselves!"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made..." - Psalm 139:14ainstagram.com/top40stringsIf you liked this cover, you may also like:i hate u i love u by gnash - youtu.be/yf3o_2H3SwwDon't Wanna Know by Maroon 5 - youtu.be/ysmfQLUf_JMSia The Greatest - youtu.be/vkuDnD4-7r0Let Me Love You - youtu.be/HPlMCd4wHrkHeathens - youtu.be/UJfGTxdG_VEWild Things Alessia Cara - youtu.be/iup7byHhbrs

Ave Verum Corpus - Mozart Top40Strings 2020-06-04 | I've been working with my students online throughout the pandemic and quarantining at home.

Thankfully, we've been able to put a video together that I hope you can enjoy. I'm so proud of them! Look forward to more to come.Stay safe, everyone!
Bach Violin Sonata No. 1 in G minor, Adagio Top40Strings 2020-05-13 | I hope you're all doing okay during this coronavirus pandemic. I know it affects us all differently, but it definitely is affecting everyone. Please stay safe! I've had some more free time due to less work so I've decided to return to my favorite unaccompanied Bach movements. I have always felt unworthy of playing and sharing unaccompanied Bach on YouTube because of how difficult it is to perfect. But I decided to screw perfection and just play to my heart's content. I hope you enjoy!
A Brief Storm (Original) for Violin and Piano by Michelle Lau (live performance at WSUMC) Top40Strings 2019-10-13 | The channel turns six today! I'm celebrating by sharing this composition with you. It was recorded at Washington Street United Methodist Church back in August. The congregation was so warm and inviting and I have also had the privilege to debut my other compositions there. In fact, the video you see here is courtesy of their live-streaming otherwise I'd only have a sound recording. So I know the quality is a bit low compared to my usual videos but I'm still very grateful for it!

Autumn Romance (Original) for Violin and Piano by Michelle Lau Top40Strings 2018-10-13 | Five years ago today, I started the Top40Strings YouTube channel. To commemorate this special occasion, I share with you my second composition called Autumn Romance written for violin and piano. The channel has allowed me to discover many different sides of myself as a musician. Before it, I only considered myself a violinist. But now I see myself as an arranger and a composer. And when I'm listening to music, I hear so many more layers than I used to. It has even affected the way I teach my students.Please let me know what you think of the piece. And if you'd like to purchase the sheet music, it is available here: sheetmusicplus.com/title/autumn-romance-for-violin-and-piano-digital-sheet-music/20825715Thank you for watching and following!

Delicate Taylor Swift Violin Cover Top40Strings 2018-05-02 | Helloooo all~! Are you still here? Taylor Swift never fails in inspiring me to get off my lazy butt and make a video. I decided to try something a little new for this video. I added a bit of video showing you what my sound editing process looks like so you can see the many layers that go into making music. The bottom tracks are my midi files and the upper four are my violin tracks. The more tracks, the better imho! I usually don't bother coloring my tracks but for you all, I chose all sorts of crazy colors! Let me know what you think. I miss you guys. Hope you're all doing well.
Never Be The Same - Camila Cabello - Violin Cover Top40Strings 2018-03-14 | Hey folks! I'm alive~ I know I haven't posted a video in months. Honestly, I was planning on taking an indefinite break. YouTube was taking up not only a lot of my physical energy but it was also emotionally draining. These last few months have been so refreshing not having to worry about uploading a video or worrying about views and channel growth. I'm not planning a big comeback or anything. I just felt like making a video.If you haven't left me yet, thank you so much. You are very patient and the best subscriber a girl could ever ask for!

Canonesque (Original) for Violin and Piano by Michelle Lau Top40Strings 2017-10-26 | Here it is! My first completed composition ever. It is pronounced Canon-esque. I named the piece Canonesque because it is "like a canon." I had the privilege of recording this with my sister. Throughout the writing process, I got to play this piece with my students and it was really fun to teach. Some of them played it for a competition earlier this year. I want to add to the classical music repertoire. I will be transcribing it for viola and cello eventually as well. Thank you so much for watching! This has been a dream of mine to write something of my own. If you have any questions for me regarding the piece, feel free to ask in the comment section and I'll get back to you.

Mad Hatter Melanie Martinez Violin Cover Top40Strings 2017-10-13 | Happy 4th Birthday, Top40Strings!!! Thank you to everyone who watched the last vlog and told me how long you were following me. It really warmed my heart. As promised, here is the most requested song from the video. I'm really sorry that I couldn't do everyone's requests. Please know that your comments and support are greatly appreciated. I hope you all enjoyed the video :) Special thanks goes to iSolo for sending me their wireless usb mic to try out. I loved it. The sound was nice and balanced throughout. Balance is an issue that I tend to have when I use my regular mic since I like to move around a bit.

Dusk Till Dawn - Zayn ft. Sia Violin Cover Top40Strings 2017-09-28 | Here's another acoustic cover. Somehow it's got a sleepy lullaby feel to it. That was unintentional haha. I always have to laugh when I've got the big headphones on. They're so bulky. And yet, I get the best quality sound when I play with them on. I think it's okay to sacrifice visual aesthetics for better audio. At least I dressed up :PStay tuned for some special things coming up in the next few weeks. I may post a vlog so I can personally tell you what is to come.

What About Us - P!nk Violin Cover Top40Strings 2017-09-23 | I'm going back to my roots for this video. Hah for anyone who has been with me since the early days of my channel, you'll remember that before I discovered creating midis, I played all the parts on my violin. Percussive beats, melody, pizzicatos... etc. I decided to go back to that for this video. Just listening to it made me feel nostalgic. I think I'll be doing this more often. I hope you enjoyed this. I've got some exciting new projects coming up in the next month. Stay tuned~ Thank you for all your kind comments, shares and likes. They keep me going :)Other covers:Look What You Made Me Do - youtu.be/DXgQxupy1REDespacito - youtu.be/FPqhFiqZ0GoBeliever Imagine Dragons - youtu.be/jFWI3ofukLQ1-800-273-8255 by Logic ft.

Logic ft. Alessia Cara & Khalid - 1-800-273-8255 - Violin Cover Top40Strings 2017-09-14 | The music video for this song blew me away. It has such a beautiful message about how suicide is not the answer and how there are people who can help you if you are in a place where you think suicide is your only option. From a musically analytical perspective, I love the rhythms in the song and the addition of live strings really takes it to another level. I've only recently discovered Logic but he's really talented so I'm looking forward to seeing how he continues to develop as an artist. I've always wanted to help people through music so covering this song really was a no brainer. I hope you liked it. Thanks for watching. Other covers:Dusk Till Dawn by Zayn ft.

Despacito Luis Fonsi ft. Daddy Yankee - Violin Cover (Classical Version) Top40Strings 2017-08-16 | I resisted this song for so long. There were so many covers of it already. But then I got the inspiration to do a classical version so I caved and made the cover haha.I experimented this time by not using a backing track or a click track. So all the sounds were acoustic and unedited. And the tempo changed a lot. That was done on purpose to give a cadenza-like vibe. But I did the silly thing of recording the melody first which made recording those fast notes really challenging... But in the end, I'm happy with the result.

Believer Imagine Dragons - Violin & Piano Cover Top40Strings 2017-08-04 | I've been working on composing a lot lately and have discovered that I actually like composing through piano first. Meaning I'll come up with something on the piano first and then make up the violin part. Anyway, I had been playing so much piano that I suddenly felt like playing it for this cover. To be clear, I am NOT professionally trained on the piano. I have had maybe less than five lessons in my entire life. Which is why this cover is in A minor... But both my mom and sister happen to be professional pianists so I've been listening to piano ever since my days in the womb. Actually, now that I'm composing, I do wish I had taken more piano lessons when I was younger but I always tell people that it's never too late to start the violin so I think I better start taking my own advice. instagram.com/top40stringsOther covers:What About Us by P!nk - youtu.be/R666c8Exewk1-800-273-8255 by Logic ft.

Castlevania Netflix Opening Theme Violin Cover Top40Strings 2017-08-02 | I'm one of those Castlevania fans who only played from PS2 on. The games are amazing and I absolutely loved the Netflix animation. After coming back from a recent trip to Taiwan, I had major jetlag and ended up watching all of the episodes at 4am in the morning. I was hooked by the first 7 minutes and then I saw the amazing opening sequence. The attention to detail for this series was superb. So I thought it was only right to show as much love for my cover. This took me the better part of three days to arrange, record, and edit. I'm quite proud of the final product and I hope that you'll enjoy it too. And if you haven't yet, go check out Castlevania on Netflix!!!If you liked this video, you may also like my violin cover of:Stranger Things - youtu.be/V0WCqegSSR8Fire Emblem Echoes - youtu.be/0CCNIktrOkACheck out my Instagram: instagram.com/top40strings
Breaking the Habit Linkin Park - Violin Cover Top40Strings 2017-07-22 | Linkin Park had a huge impact on me and my friends when we were growing up. It breaks my heart to hear about Chester Bennington's passing. Even though his end was tragic and he suffered a lot during his lifetime, in no way was his life a tragedy because he contributed so much through his music. Linkin Park provided an entire generation of teens with a venue for dealing with angst and emotions. Life felt a lot better when we knew we weren't alone in our struggles. Breaking the Habit is my favorite song by the band and I decided to cover it in honor of Chester. Rest in peace.You may also enjoy my cover of:Believer Imagine Dragons - youtu.be/jFWI3ofukLQ
New Rules - Dua Lipa - Violin Cover Top40Strings 2017-07-19 | I'm back from my trip! If you kept up with my Instagram, you'll know where I've been for the last month. For me, it was paradise on Earth. I'll be honest with you. It's been hard to motivate myself to make videos lately. All I want to do is rest rest rest. I still feel exhausted after my wonderful trip. There also haven't been many songs out there that I feel I absolutely must make a cover of. But somehow, I managed to make this video because I've been following Dua Lipa and really like her music. She is beautiful and talented and I'm excited to see how she shakes up the music scene. Leave a comment for this video. I PROMISE I'll reply here ;) So sorry for not being good about replying for my other videos.
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia - Truth - Violin Cover Top40Strings 2017-06-14 | Fire Emblem Echoes has quickly become one of my favorite games. It hasn't even been out for a month and I have already put over 80 hours into the game. So it makes sense that I would make a video from the ost. The moment I heard the song Truth, I immediately knew I would cover it. The original was performed with a cello so I rearranged it for violin. Even if you're here for the pop music, I hope you'll enjoy this because I put a lot of love into making this video! As I said on my last video, I'll be away for a bit so no videos for awhile but if you want to keep up with me, check out the instagram. I'll be traveling to a place with really good food!!!!instagram.com/top40strings
2U - David Guetta ft Justin Bieber Violin Cover Top40Strings 2017-06-12 | I've been on a brief Youtube hiatus due to busy work and the end of the school year. And I'm about to have another brief hiatus for some "rest and relaxation" quality time. But I didn't want to leave you all with nothing ;)I experimented with filming from a slightly different angle. It's a bit up close and personal haha. You can see all the pores on my face! Let me know what you think
Attention by Charlie Puth - Violin Cover Top40Strings 2017-05-04 | Hello lovely people! I promise I will get around to responding to comments.

Chained to the Rhythm - Katy Perry Violin Cover Top40Strings 2017-02-15 | I'm super excited for Katy Perry's comeback. When I first heard this song, I fell in love with the bass line. This song just makes you want to dance. But then I started listening to the words and realized that there was a pretty deep message beneath the surface. I got a bit adventurous in this video and did a little bit of violin shredding. Very little. But compared to before, it's more :D With a new camera and better equipment to work with, I feel more daring to experiment and try new things. Thank you for watching.

Ill Be Home For Christmas for Violin and Cello (string quartet) Top40Strings 2016-12-21 | Merry Christmas! This is the first year that I finally had a chance to do Christmas music during Christmas time! The first year, I got really sick. The next year, I was super busy. This year, I finally put in the effort, even though it's short :) I based this off of the Carpenter's Christmas Portrait version of the song. That album is hands down the best Christmas album in my book. I hope you all will be able to spend Christmas at home with your loved ones! Btw, that's my Christmas tree you see in the background :D
Mrs Potato Head Melanie Martinez Violin Cover Top40Strings 2016-12-14 | So I'm currently going through a Melanie Martinez obsession... Can you tell? What I love about her isn't only that her music is catchy. She's got some pretty powerful messages behind her songs and it's executed in such a wonderfully creepy and impressionable way. Her videos are self-directed. She does the makeup and design herself. Basically, her style is reflected all over her work. Nothing about her music is cookie cutter or processed. In my opinion, it's the best kind of "pop" that a pop artist can aspire to become. There are definitely more songs that I want to cover by her but I may need to take a brief break from her music because it's quite heavy and I want to get into the holiday spirit lol!instagram.com/top40stringsIf you liked this cover, you may also like:Mad Hatter - youtu.be/kw000JNw3gwPity Party - youtu.be/eA7YRYpb8lwPacify Her - youtu.be/2ISU0vXMJ00Sia The Greatest - youtu.be/vkuDnD4-7r0i hate u i love u by gnash - youtu.be/yf3o_2H3SwwDon't Wanna Know by Maroon 5 - youtu.be/ysmfQLUf_JMScars To Your Beautiful - youtu.be/6CoUfxIq8AgLet Me Love You - youtu.be/HPlMCd4wHrkHeathens - youtu.be/UJfGTxdG_VE
Pacify Her Melanie Martinez - Violin Cover Top40Strings 2016-12-07 | Thank you for being patient, lovely people. As you probably know, December is a crazy busy season for musicians. But somehow I found time to make this video for you. I loved watching the music video. I was fascinated and creeped out at the same time! I'm looking forward to Melanie Martinez's music. She's got that quirkiness and vulnerability that Sia does so wonderfully. Let me know what you think of my video.instagram.com/top40stringsIf you liked this cover, you may also like:Mad Hatter - youtu.be/kw000JNw3gwMrs. Potato Head - youtu.be/N2L0vluHKvwPity Party - youtu.be/eA7YRYpb8lwSia The Greatest - youtu.be/vkuDnD4-7r0i hate u i love u by gnash - youtu.be/yf3o_2H3SwwDon't Wanna Know by Maroon 5 - youtu.be/ysmfQLUf_JMScars To Your Beautiful - youtu.be/6CoUfxIq8AgLet Me Love You - youtu.be/HPlMCd4wHrkHeathens - youtu.be/UJfGTxdG_VE
O Mio Babbino Caro by Puccini for Violin (Gianni Schicchi) Top40Strings 2016-12-01 | I've been so swamped with work that I haven't had time to arrange any pop. But this week I'm performing Gianni Schicchi, Puccini's only comedy opera. This aria is so well known that even if you don't know much opera, this song will probably still be familiar to you. I arranged a short section after being inspired by all my practicing for the concert lol... During this busy season, your comments have been giving me life! Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy this and that it keeps you entertained until I finally have time to arrange pop again.instagram.com/top40strings

Dont Wanna Know Maroon 5 Violin Cover Top40Strings 2016-11-02 | I had so much fun doing this which hopefully you can see. Normally I don't like playing staccato or spiccato in pop music because it makes me cringe but it just felt perfect for this cover. Plus, most of the 16th notes were slightly swung which made for a really cool rhythmic feel.
