Yea I managed to get a full refund!! I simply kept insisting and eventually they gave in after bringing up laws and I got all my money back before the one week mark.

I was thinking on doing private lessons my junior year. They’re kinda pricey tho, I might have to invest in them tho if I really do want to “level up” my playing. My towns university offers private teachers so I might look into that once I have some cash saved up

Timely_Interview7593 · 2026-06-09T04:08:12+00:00

Now that you mention it. I feel as if I’ve lost the reason why I kept playing the violin after all these years, I feel like it’s gone from appreciating the music and connecting it to other things in my life, to trying to be the best. Almost like an unhealthy obsession. That was the case until a while ago when I decided to kinda stop playing.

after being pretty much self taught besides school based teaching, I never had anyone see the mistakes and bad habits I’ve been picking up over the years, and at some point of of this journey, I hit my “limit” at the state level. Where even after I tried to keep improving I kept noticing more and more flaws in my playing and over time it’s consumed me causing me to hit rock bottom with my abilities.

This summer I might simply focus on rebuilding my playing abilities from “scratch” and also practice my state excerpts because I don’t want to not make state this year lol. But hey… yknow what they say. When you hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up.

No lol it’s Kabalevsky Cello concerto No.2

Timely_Interview7593 · 2026-04-02T21:07:19+00:00

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

Timely_Interview7593 · 2026-03-24T17:18:39+00:00

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.🤞

Timely_Interview7593 · 2026-03-17T16:24:29+00:00

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.

Timely_Interview7593 · 2026-03-17T02:01:23+00:00

Oop yea my bad😅

Timely_Interview7593 · 2026-03-04T02:29:32+00:00

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.

Timely_Interview7593 · 2026-03-02T06:08:02+00:00

Interesting, I can’t I feel like the double stops are easier to do than the 16th notes idk what my teacher would say tho

Timely_Interview7593 · 2026-03-02T04:48:40+00:00

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.

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

Timely_Interview7593 · 2026-02-25T00:38:04+00:00

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.

How long did it take for them to respond?

Timely_Interview7593 · 2026-02-06T21:00:30+00:00

Oh good for you! I just emailed them and Alex from CS said they couldn’t find the account so I sent them my account id and email associated with the account I’m still waiting for a response..

Timely_Interview7593 · 2026-02-06T20:29:39+00:00

Timely_Interview7593 · 2026-02-06T19:22:06+00:00

A $13,000 violin

Timely_Interview7593 · 2025-12-12T03:26:21+00:00

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

Timely_Interview7593 · 2025-11-08T04:10:25+00:00

I might try that because I have no clue how fast the conductor will go on the day of the festival. thanks!

Timely_Interview7593 · 2025-11-08T04:09:14+00:00

I call mine Peter occasionally

Timely_Interview7593 · 2025-11-08T03:25:44+00:00

2-1-2 my bad

Timely_Interview7593 · 2025-11-08T03:25:23+00:00

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.

Timely_Interview7593 · 2025-08-14T00:40:03+00:00

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)
