When You Play A Violin

I Think If There's Ever Been A Time We Need Music More, It's Now. For Our Kids, It Teaches You To Take Time, To Listen, To Work Together, To Listen To Other People, And To Use Your Brain. That's Why Classical Music Doesn't Work When You Throw It At People In A Subway Platform While They're Rushing To Work. Classical Music Is Something That Needs To Be Contemplated, You Have To Be Completely Present With An Active Mind That's Working. It's Not Background Music.

If You Mess Up The Tiniest Little Thing In The Beethoven Concerto, Or The Phrasing Isn't Just Exactly Perfectly Executed, Beethoven Brings Out The Worst In The Best Violinist. You Almost Never Hear A Satisfying Performance, Because It Doesn't Play Itself.

Although I Hardly Ever Turn On The Tv Set Unless It's Football Season, I Do Watch A Lot Of Tv On My Ipad - Perfect For Long Airplane Journeys.

I Write Arrangements. Im Sort Of A Wannabe Composer.

I Love The Outdoor Festival Feeling.
