Something for Beginners

A violin track this week.
I started playing violin back in March of 2023, and I got really frustrated that the very early songs in my class weren't anything that sounded good unless you added vibrato (which I still cannot do). So I swore I would write for beginners stuff that was fun and sounded good. I am Excluding a lot of fiddle stuff which sounds great and is fun at the start, because my former teacher discouraged me from it because they really wanted me to stick with Suzuki (classical) which mean I had to learn the same way as a child... as a person in my 40s. including not being allow to know names notes what not. My current teacher is way more chill.
I showed him the piece this week and he was pleased I knew it had no ending or clear beginning and then told me about cadance and I watched a few videos. So here it is. ALSO extremely cool to have someone much more skilled than I play the piece I wrote. And he had so many notes to help me work on the next one.
For beginners because it's G major. You mostly use open strings and your first and third fingers. I have string crossing to make it more complicated but not too much. I also tried to write it to accomodate that I naturally drag or buffer at parts. If you can't follow my exact tempo, be aware that I have a tendency to randomly change it, so it's likely me and not you.
Recorded with my iphone mini below me wrapped in a polar feece sweater to buffer sound. I also use audacity for when I messed up and couldn't one shot the boss.
