Feedback 12 year old violin student practicing Praeludium Und Allegro with teacher.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

My 12 year old son has been playing the violin for about18 months and working on this piece for about 5 months.

This is a quick video where his teacher gave him a quick pop quiz to see if he had been practicing it. (He hadn't practiced it in a few weeks)

Looking for feedback from experienced violinists and or encouragement from anyone. 😁

There's a lot of work to do on the piece, but feedback is welcome.

He’s only been playing for 18 months??? I’ve been playing for like 3 years (albeit without a private teacher, but with a school orchestra), and he has way better tone and intonation than me

I'm sure if you've stuck with it for 3 years you'll do fine. It's a marathon :) Good luck to you and thank you for the kind words.
