Hi, I'm 30! Some advice for what is hot currently is that you should know what you want to do before you start hi school, I feel, as a musician. I even feel you need to know even before that. Also know that where I went to hi school you can graduate early if you took some courses in junior hi. Most of us didn't, and I actually switched hi schools and took English V, didn't meet some easy core requirements yet to graduate early. I focused too much on pushing myself academically and didn't know I was headed to be a musician cuz growing up is actually a scary thought I'd imagine.

A Trick on the Violin

If you wanna sound good soft, contrast it with adjacent loud parts.

..and sometimes make it more musical then.

Learning Music vs. Singing

I took String Class for a year in college 3 days a week for about 45 or 50 minutes, I think.  I had a trust that it would be okay.  I was kinda nervous about the difficulty I anticipated about finding the notes, some.  I have a hard time now on my own after 11 years of not touching a violin.  I took violin my 1st semester because I had to.  I stuck with it cuz I was already on it.  I wanted to play viola at times.

I was in choir for 3 years in school and later just at church.  I feel that compared to a string player as a singer that I am not as reliable because conducting singers in a choir, we all have different voices, but with string instruments there are only 4 kinds of instruments or "bodies," if you will.

A Musical Experience

I went to an event at Rollins College performed by 2 members of the Bach Festival Society.  The conductor there said I could join the orchestra at Rollins College in the fall!  I told him I only knew 3 keys.  I don't even have to be an enrolled student to join, which I am not.

The event was a performance by 2 violinists who are married, a Chilean man and a Latvian woman.  We had tea and scones with chocolate chips or berries.  I had iced chai tea.

I talked to the violinist man after and he said 4 or 5 years I can be a good violinist.

I take violin lessons and learn things on my own, too.  It's been like a month so far and "so far so good."
