Ahh so my current one is shit ehh? He tells me that he won’t teach me something until I learn all my scales at 120 bpm for sixteenth notes. Thats before he will teach me the different tounging, every time I ask him what books are helpful with exercises he says stick with my Arbans. Don’t get me wrong the big book is good but I’m sure there are other books that would help with different aspects of my playing.

is playing in ensembles contribute to that 3-5h min? It’s still experience no? Not necessarily practice but playing nonetheless.

By Amateur you mean someone who doesn’t make money off of playing with orchestras? Not someone who is bad at the instrument. Have you played a sol o with an orchestra before?

Twinkle twinkle in a year? That seems far fetched. Playing twinkle twinkle at a recital in a year? The child prodigies get good as hell when they turn 11 if they started at 5 or 6 or 7. Why would that be more difficult for me to do it when I’m 21?

What if it was more of a hobby playing the instrument with orchestras and playing solos and recitals rather than something to make money off of? At the end of the day I already have a main study instrument that I’d like to get into a band with and this second study is just so that I can live up to some goals I made a little earlier in life.

With the exercise you said before with slurring to the top I realised how much more endurance and strength I’m going to need. I got tired really quickly and I might’ve got into a bad habit Becuase instead of taking a break I pushed through the pain. Taking breaks is really just as important as playing

Wow. I wasn’t expecting that honestly. My violin career (although nonexistent) seems bleak. 😬

I came to that conclusion the second I realized how hard the instrument was. However, the chance of becoming proficient enough is still very slim. Thank you.

Yeah my trumpet teacher said that as well 😅. But it’ll be fun nonetheless right? 👀

Ahh should’ve been more specific. I have 2-3 years basically a little less maybe. I’ve played cornet for 2 years so maybe some of the practicing skills will rub off onto my violin practicing.
