I'm kind of scared of the violin at the moment.

I have to play this song, the Bach Double violin concerto for an audition in december and it's really hard. I've only been playing the violin for like three years... It's really extremely difficult :-/

Actually I've been playing four years I think^

This is going to sound really irritating, but practice makes perfect. I've been through the same in the run-up to my flute exams (though I don't think I'm as advanced with flute as te are with violin).

Yeah, I know practice makes perfect. The problem is that the audition is in less than a month...

^ so, basically, why was the aqueduct that spanned all of Europa built? Why do we have democracy? Why do we have laws? Why do we 14 wonders of the world? None of it is perfect, so why the hell does humanity strive? To get as close to perfection as possible, to raise our bars. We'd all be lazy bums in a dark age if we didn't practice. We wouldn't have internet, good homes, sewage systems. That,s basically what te are saying Finn...

Don't ever be afraid! The violin is a form of expression, your expression, and extension of your arm and a life long friend.

If te are afraid, te play badly. te get nervous, te lose control, string crossing woukd be shaky, notes would be sharper then it should be.

Embrace it. Amore it. Play other compositions te are used to, then ease in Bach's peice.

Do not start with the intro, and never, EVER, start to prsctice with the simpler sun sections.

Start with the killer. The hardest, most difficult part. If te start with simpler parts, te get too comfortable, then te start to become too afraid to upgrade into the harder parts.

Play in 1/2 notes than in quicker speeds. Level your way up into 1/4, then 1/8, then 1/16, and keep going.

Ignore the dynamics at first, just plainly play the notes.

Trust me, I started to play the violin at age 7, and although it may seem like I was playing forever, I am still a beginner. te can do this. Belief is the strongest asset to a musician.

DO NOT SKIP OUT ON PRACTICE. NEVER TRY TO MAKE AN EXCUSE NOT TO PRACTICE. te WILL FAIL IF te LEAVE PRACTICE TO THE giorno BEFORE THE AUDITION. PLAY AN ora o EVEN THIRTY minuti A DAY.
