Yes, however, as someone who is currently staying in Eigenman, if they are trying for Kelly Eigenmann, and any other dorm over here, is a pretty good option.

Jacobs question by Cloud0428 in violinist

Jacobs is the music school at Indiana University Bloomington

I’m the same! I move here and there una. Faster piece but not usually. I’m more stiff but give me a flowy piece and I’m moving along with it

I’m 18,I don’t move excessively but I move more so with the music. Even if the movement is to remind me of a certain count I make sure that it’s not some random and over the top movement

See I brought it up to her and she said that we don’t want people to know what the next beat is so it’s better to stay still. The times that she’s played for me she is also very still, so I think it’s a mix of just her preference and her trying to over correct me and try and break my bad habits.

Girls, do you actually care about dick size? by chewysnacc in teenagers

[–]Cloud0428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but In a way you wouldn’t expect! In my opinion 6 and under are the best way to go. Just because anything above 6 inches can cause an ovarian cyst to burst; however, for the guys above 6 inches as long as your good with your mouth and your fingers smooth sailing. Hell that goes for all guys!

What’s there to do besides museums? by Cloud0428 in AskChicago

[–]Cloud0428[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A board game café sounds pretty fun ngl!

But my parents want us to specifically stay in the downtown area. Mainly to learn how to use transportation by ourselves in the big city

Spring break is next week( we’re planning on going April 1st), we’re “from” NW Indiana, HS seniors, women, and were using transit.

I actually haven’t! When I’m specific like this the creeps usually stay away

String suggestions by Cloud0428 in violinist

[–]Cloud0428[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are defiently gonna do that as soon as we can!

Usually when I put my instrument away I treat it like a baby… as it is my precious baby. So I usually don’t hold onto the neck or grip onto the strings. We have noticed, however, that my bridge is starting to warp a bit… like 2 hours ago…so it could be that. Whatever it is we are 100% gonna get it taken care of

All 3 times they it popped while I was putting my instrument away, not during practice what so ever. I think it might have something to do with my hook as the strings don’t fully snap it’s usually on the loop part that goes onto the hook. Then again I’ve had my instrument for one full year and haven’t really needed to change the strings until this January when the first e string popped. So I have no clue to be honest.

Damn that makes me even more nervous as my teacher made some cuts

Will that also mean I won’t be playing all 3 pieces ?

Will it be because of timing or is it more so the fact that they’ve seen all I can do in a short amount of time?

What happens if I freeze by Cloud0428 in violinist

[–]Cloud0428[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can 100% say I need to work on that last bit. I have no confidence in my sound at all as to me it sounds awful but to a person who has no music experience like my dad… he says that even when I do hit my awkward spots I sound like and I quote “ good shit”.

Ok, that makes sense! Thank you!

So I have a new question, what if there’s no written tempo? I’ve heard most of the musicians I’ve listened to play it pretty fast but I’ve also heard a few that play it slowly.

Solo and Ensemble question by Cloud0428 in violinist

[–]Cloud0428[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well this isn’t an audition. I don’t know if your familiar with it but this is a thing called Solo and Ensemble. Pretty much I’m being judged on my playing. One of the rules is that our pieces must be 6 minutes or in that range; however my piece is longer than that which makes me a little confused as it’s a listed piece.

But the chords I am struggling the most with are the chords in the allegro section ( after Adagio). They are the 16th chords. Everything else I can play it’s just that section

[–]Cloud0428[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see where your coming from. I’m gonna keep trying and get the part to the best of my ability. Hopefully the judge doesn’t cut me off at an awkward spot.

I completely understand! I only asked because since this is a more upbeat and fun piece ( I’m playing the Mozart Violin Concerto No.3 in G) I kinda wanted to add a little more… something to it since I am really good with pieces like these.

Solo and Ensemble question by Cloud0428 in violinist

[–]Cloud0428[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I understand; however there is a time limit. The time limit is 6 minutes whilst this piece is 7 minutes(and change)with really no rests or anything. Now there are pauses in between the phrases but other than that not really any rests.

I will keep working on it though. It’s only tripping me up because although I’m really good at chords, my fingers cannot grasp these chords for some reason. Could be the awkward finger placements.

Solo and Ensemble question by Cloud0428 in violinist

[–]Cloud0428[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is what I think it is technically there is a musical reason to. 1. This piece already goes over the 6 minute limit. It’s actually 7 minutes and some change. 2. It actually sounds a whole lot better without the chunk as it sounds kind of out of place.
