thank you sooo much …
thank you sooo much!!! thats a very nice compliment. each video is played on a different violin; we get a few minutes to tune it and select a piece to do, then we record. i try to let the violin tell me how to play since i want to let it speak for itself…but i know what you mean at 1:47. perhaps on another violin…another sound sample

well, i’m probably not the right person to ask as i’m also in high school and i guess i don’t have to tell you that its a struggle to find enough practice time and homework time to get it all done. my best suggestion is to get as much practice in as you can; split it up if that makes sense. i practice in the morning, after school and some more at night. tell me what kind of pieces you’re playing?

i try to practice …
i try to practice at least 3 hours a day; some days i do more, some days less (shhhh…don’t tell anyone). i break it up into 2 or 3 sessions of practice, and sometimes “practice” will include thumbing through books and sightreading…playing for enjoyment, that kind of thing. i just try and mix it up; but put in the hours at the same time.

my brother and i are still in high school. we’re not ready for professional work yet, but we hope to eventually go to a conservatory and maybe after four years of studying with the right teachers, we’d have a chance at playing professionally
