yay, me too! What kind of violin music do you like? (classical, romantic, minimalism, jazz, blues, etc.)bookworm wrote:We should! I really love violin music, it gives me chills.

haha, it was really bad. It was the only violin piece I had that I could play piano accompaniment and I wanted to stick some violin music in. I hadn't played that in a year or two, so I was quite rusty.Jesus' Princess wrote:Smaug, I play the violin as well, and I really liked the solo, you sounded very nice.
Thank you, the one person who voted for me!
And because I'm not on the main computer, I can't see any of the videos. I shall watch them as soon as possible and post my reactions. Congrats ric!

Thanks, Lee.
Bluegrass is epic. And folk music with the violin.

I just like the instrument. Pretty much anything that works it in is good with me.Smaug the Dragon wrote:yay, me too! What kind of violin music do you like?

I didn’t know Skillet had a violinist until I saw them live, that totally changed my opinion of them. Before I thought ‘Eh, they’re okay’ but now I say ‘Rock music with a violin? Epic!’

They have a violinist? I shall have to look them up. I've heard a few of their songs, but was never a big fan of rock. However, with the addition of violin...bookworm wrote:I just like the instrument. Pretty much anything that works it in is good with me.Smaug the Dragon wrote:yay, me too!

You should look up Reilly. It's a Christian rock/pop band that actually uses the violin extensively - much more than Skillet.Smaug the Dragon wrote:They have a violinist?

Exactly!Smaug the Dragon wrote:I've heard a few of their songs, but was never a big fan of rock. However, with the addition of violin...
He’s really good. Each member did a solo after every few songs, and his was amazing.
Edit:
This isn’t the concert I was at, but it’s the same piece.
I'm finally taking the time to watch/listen to the videos. #1 is absolutely beautiful. Polished up a bit, it sounds like something off of a professional CD. :yes:JP, I love that song. I have a version of that I like to play as well. I should record it so you can hear it sometime. You did really great too. Ric, fantastic job. I'd love to hear you play a recognizable song sometime because you're really talented. Smaug, out of your two awesome vids, the piano was my favorite. I don't believe I've ever really heard that song before and you did a really nice job with it.
Good job, all of you talented people!

With dial-up I could not hear or submit one. However this year I am taking my Tuba to District playing Group 1 (hardest) solo. If you get a Gold you can go to state. Normal progression I would be taking a group 2 solo but I skipped a year. We are actually voted by college professors. I hope to get a gold so I can go to the ISSMA State contest. Any student whether in a 5A or A school can go there. So to get a gold at district is hard because the judges want to send someone that will represent them well. So if I make it (which is rare for a sophomore) I will be playing among the very best in the state.
Anywho I'm sure you all did wonderful and I wish I could hear it without wanting until my death to listen to it.

Well, I have dial-up too. I just used the library and church computers to download the videos.
