Recently I just finished making a video on the violin called Adoration by Felix Borowski. I hope you like it! Thank you!
A Steady Beat
Throughout the years, practicing with the metronome has always been a struggle for me. However, I’ve learned that once you master rhythm and playing on the beat you can do anything. The metronome is like my enemy but also my best friend. Practicing every day with the steady beat of the metronome has taught me to become more patient, persevering and dedicated. I chose to take this picture from this angle to symbolize how daunting and difficult the metronome can be. However, despite the overwhelming sense of torment, it stands as a monument of determination and hard work. And in the end, the notes and the beat combine to form a beautiful and polished melody.
Athena
Here is a picture of my adorable and beloved dog. I decided to take a picture of her captivating eyes!! Her name is Athena which comes from the Greek goddess of wisdom and war. I wanted to take this picture because I think it symbolizes wonder and strength like the goddess and like my dog.
The Pasadena Conservatory of Music
This is the conservatory where I have spent the last three years of my life. This is a photo of the auditorium where recitals take place. I remember this is the place I stood where so many people watched me play the violin. I was so nervous and scared that I would forget or play the wrong note but every time I tried to do the best I could. Sometimes I would skip a passage or play the wrong note and sometimes I would play most of the piece correctly. Nevertheless, I was happy and joyful that I was able to have the experience of playing on a stage where the audience wanted to listen to me and countless other students.
the Violin
I took this photo because it shows my love/hate relationship with the violin. Although I have been playing the violin for several years I have countless times contemplated giving it up because practicing is so difficult. However, I have nevertheless continued through all the pain of practicing. My violin teacher actually suggested I start this website about hobbies and things that interest me. So I thought it would be appropriate to create my blog about my relationship with the violin.
