Here is a little medley of some common Christmas carols, played on the violin. I hope you like it! ^_^
I was having some difficulty trying to decide which Christmas songs I was going to play, so I decided to combine them together into a little medley. It's a very simple arrangement that could be played by beginners. I'll try to write out the sheet music soon (I make all my videos by ear, so the sheet music always has to come later). It might not be available for this Christmas, but I'll definitely have it available for practicing for next Christmas! =)
After all the latest fancier music videos, I wanted to try to simplify a few videos a little bit so that I could post a little more frequently. I hope that it is still enjoyable. ^_^ With the colder weather, I don't want to take my violin outside -- the expansion and contraction of the wood because of the temperature fluctuations can break the seals and cause cracks! :o I always get slightly concerned when I see videos of violinists playing outside in the snow...
Can you name all the carols in this medley?! : D
Thank you for watching, and I hope you have a great holiday season. =)
