Joseph the Violist

Just a bunch of ducks, some flipping over the Shoreline Lake. Kinda friendly, but it is not a good idea to get your way to the little ducklings with mommy duck unless you want to get bitten. Nice place to have some group picnics.

This is the most friendliest squirrel I ever met right here in Mountain View California. I got his video in the Shoreline Park. He loves acorn. I wish I could bring him home... but i think he would be very just fine staying right in the park. See you next week. I will bring you some Cheese Nipz

This is Charice Pempengco when she was still less than 9 years old.

This is my 2nd attempt on violin, played by ear again. This piece is a classic chinese love song. Hope you like it.

No lip-syncing here folks, This is the REAL DEAL!: The original 1994 video of "The Cuppycake Song" (words and music by Judianna Castle) being recorded by the original artist (our daughter, Amy at age 3 yrs, 10 mo.) in our home studio. Although there were many takes of the song during the session, this was the one that made it onto our BALLOONS children's CD(www.cdbaby.com/buddycastle)and the one which has generated so much interest on the internet. Since uploading "The Cuppycake Song" to the web in 1996, it has truly taken on a life of it's own. On You Tube alone, there are currently over 4,800 videos using this song! In the last ten years we have received thousands of unsolicited comments from people of all ages across the US and many countries around the world who have been touched by this simple song and the tiny voice that sings it.Now at last, you can see the face that goes with the voice. This should finally put to rest the false rumor that the song wa...

This is a video of Sir Coke Bolipata and Sir Chino Bolipata, performing on violin & cello respectively at the Kulturang handog sa Bayan concert (venue: Cultural Center of the Philippines). They played one of their arrangement from their album, "Pelikula", entiteld " Kahit Na" accompanied by Mr. C (Ryan Cayabyab). Its been almost a year since I joined and take part in my own little way, the "Bantay Bata 163, Concert for a Cause" at the Insular Building Auditorium, in Alabang. As I was invited by my viola teacher who happened to be the student of Sir Coke. Enjoy watching, dont forget to check out my blogsite: http://josephviola08.blogspot.com/ Cheers

Han Na Chang is one of my favorite young cellist. Check out this video. Great musicality. You will see how see make her own interpretation of this composition. She is able to create a distinct character for each phrase. Stunningly good to make her cello sing! Check out my blog site: http://josephviola08.blogspot.com/

Now, I get to understand the concept of the da Vinci Code , and its sequel, Angels & Demons. Angels refers to the Catholic Church, and Demons refers to the people involved in Science. The Church's teaching is that God is the sole creator and us, human beings as his creation. Man can't try to be like God as a creator. The documentary I watched talks about the concept of the Matter (anything that has mass and can occupy space?) which refers to God who created the matter, this is contradicted by the so-called Anti-matter? That physicist long time ago who belongs to the secret cult under Galileo's leadership. Galileo was greatly criticized by the Church long time ago for his theory about the Sun as the center of the Solar System. Indeed , he is able to prove it right. The documentary also tackle about the Turin Shroud, the cloth where Christ's face and crucified body mark the cloth with his blood. Many researchers and scientist studied about this. The professional ...

'All I ask of you' from Phantasia played by Julian Lloyd Webber and Corina Belcea at the 2005 Classical Brits. Very much amazed on how they make their musical instruments sing.

Wolverine & the X-men is now going for Season2. Season 1 was first aired just this January of 2009. Take a lok of this trailer and find out who are the new members. Enjoy

I'm very much Amazed with his kid. Looks more like the late Isaac Stern. Great musicality for his young age.

This group has one of the best arrangement. Some part is copied from John William's arrangement for Itzak Perlman's I'm still trying to learn this piece.

" This is my friend Nina, the principal flutist from the late youtube symphony. She talks about real music from real musicians. Let me know what do you think about it. I'm thinking of picking up the flute this coming Summer. Hmmm what do you think?

Hmm let me know what you think? This man who took up Humanities. Is a british tenor who joined Britain's Got Talent last 2007. This piece is his winning piece. I like this voice's timbre, very powerful but the dynamics, warmness of his voice is still there. Not to mention the clarity of the piece during his performance. Hmmm I think I should make review of Susan Boyle?

This is my first US made video right here in our Garage. Kinda echo-y but looks good for me to practice. I played this piece by ear for my 1st attempt, I apologize for the intonation. I'd like to dedicate this to my mom for Mother's Day. This is my very first US video with my very first US violin played this piece on American soil. phew..Hope you like it. Its more of a Filipino Classic. C

"> This is my favorite piece by JS Bach played by Vanessa Mae in her acoustic violin accompanied by the Bratislava Radio Symphony Orchestra. This was during her Classical tour in '96. Acoustic violin is harder to play compare to an electric violin as what they most PRos would say. This performance was very impressive. Vanessa Mae was like very much at home on stage performing. Very much at ease with her violin. This violin was a gift from her dad and is her first full size violin given to her.

"> I guess goosebumps while watching over this two. Amazed on how they make their violin sings. I love this piece.

One of the best cellist in the world. I love this piece so much but Iplayed this in viola.

Ops, Im still working on it.
