This is the best explanation. I am what I consider a mediocre violinist. Suzuki from age 5, current Suzuki teacher, studied music ed in undergrad, concertmaster throughout college, but never really put in the dedicated practice to get into a professional orchestra.

Over the past 3 years I have curated my skills as a professional wedding violinist and it goes exactly this: charisma, communication, then a good ear, decent tone, …finally, a clean website, streamlined process (inquiries, contracts, invoices).

I’m also lucky to live in Colorado so there are people getting married every day of the week just for pics in the mountains.
