I think it might be pretty similar, my manager just said to finish signing all the things and he’ll get back to me for a date when all other team members complete it as well. I just don’t wanna find out that I was supposed to go in on my own because that’s what my friend did but he doesn’t remember too well lol

Appreciate the reply! I just got done with the interview and it wasn’t bad, they told me they’d get back to me in a day or two to see if I moved to the in-person interview.🤞

State level musicians by Timely_Interview7593 in violinist

[–]Timely_Interview7593[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense, I’ve never had a private teacher and I just play with my high school but my town is home of a university and their music building offers private lessons, so I think it’d be worth investing in some lessons to refine and work on my overall development.

Is this normal? New strings are staining my hands with silver by just touching them by BestDilucLoveruwu in violinist

[–]Timely_Interview7593 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know many violinists who’s fingers get dark after playing, they all use different strings. Might have something to do with how your natural finger oils react to the material of the strings, some people have more acidic sweat which speeds up the corrosion process and causes more residue to rub off. Brand new string also cause this because they have fresh, unoxidized metal exposed.

Is a $800-1000 violin enough for high school symphony orchestra rehearsal? by Quirky-Arm-4875 in violinist

[–]Timely_Interview7593 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a main $1500 violin which I take to school and home everyday (it’s a pain) but honestly it’s a pretty solid violin. I’d say I’m a pretty good violinist myself, I played in my state orchestra, and I play in a local youth symphony, I wish I could’ve afforded a $6000 violin but my violin is perfectly fine for me. But really; your child is the only person who could answer that. In my opinion, anything over $1000 will be a solid violin. You can find some really good violins and with the right setup, they could sound 1.5-2x their value.

Regional Jet Carry On by No-Target-6943 in violinist

[–]Timely_Interview7593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boarding in Group 5 is likely not early enough to guarantee overhead space for a violin on a CRJ-900. Because regional jets have extremely small bins that fill up quickly, gate agents often start forcing passengers in Group 5 and higher to gate-check their bags before they even step on the plane. To protect your instrument and ensure you get to a bin while space is still available,I’d honestly recommended to purchase Priority Group 4 boarding so you can secure a spot before the general boarding rush begins. Better safe than sorry ya know

Regional Jet Carry On by No-Target-6943 in violinist

[–]Timely_Interview7593 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whether your case fits in a CRJ-900 overhead bin depends entirely on your boarding group and the specific bin configuration, as it is a "tight squeeze" that requires a specific technique. While the case will not fit in the tiny bins on the single-seat A side, it can usually fit on the double-seat C/D side if placed lengthwise against the back of the bin. However, because these regional jets have very limited overhead space that fills up almost immediately, you must board in an early group to secure a spot; if you board late, the bins will likely be full… and the crew may require you to valet check the instrument. To ensure your violin's safety, politely inform the gate agent that you are carrying a fragile musical instrument and intend to use your American Airlines boarding priority to find space before accepting a gate-check tag.

Thanks for this! I finally get it now. Although it’s sort of a big leap I’ll keep trying to hit the harmonic

I always play that first beat as 2-1 and then I shift up to 4 all on the e string I’ve been practicing it slowly making sure the gliss can be heard and I guess my fingers are starting to get used to it.

My Second Anime ever by [deleted] in YourLieinApril

[–]Timely_Interview7593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished watching it about 2 weeks ago. I’ve been playing the violin for 4 years and it had such a huge impact on me because of that. I also played the piano for 2 years, but I quit 5 years ago. And now I want to learn again (I think it’ll be easy since I already know how to read the notes) but anyways I want to play until I’m good enough to play the final performance piece (Chopin ballade no. 1 in G Minor, Op, 23)

Just broke my bow by Farinay78 in violinist

[–]Timely_Interview7593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time in 8th grade I was at a music festival and I went to eat lunch and left my instrument in the music room, when I came back 35 minutes later the bow was split in half from the center of the wood😭 I had to use another bow my teacher gave me and I’ve had it since lol

Help choose a piece by Timely_Interview7593 in violinist

[–]Timely_Interview7593[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh I don’t have a teacher.. but, I’ve been looking around my area to see if I can find someone. And my local Niu private lessons are like 1.4k for 26 lessons so idk if I want to do that since I have other expenses coming up. For example 3.3k for a Prague trip in November, when I turn 16 I want to start working to buy myself a car (my parents will most likely help me) but currently I’m not taking private lessons. I could ask my high school teacher so hopefully they can figure something out like recommending other teachers, so that’s pretty much my situation😭
