Hi Hannah! You really remind me of a family friend of mine. She was the sweetest and played violin beautifully too. I just discovered you from twoset. I love that you reply to comments! You seem like a great person not only a great violinist. I’ll be rooting for you!

Hannah Tam....you are just a wonderfully talented violinist with a truly solid technique and great intonation, especially with some demanding sequences of chords. My only criticism is for the audience, as they should have clapped a lot louder!
I have been working on this piece, and will never play it anywhere close to as well as you, but, I do have an upcoming jazz-60's-70's violin cd to be released next year, and did a lot of performing in Las Vegas. I wanted to share, having a family history of some amazingly accomplished musicians including Arthur Rubinstein (who used to come over to my mom's house when she was a little girl, and hear her play piano, while my mom performed for Eleanor Roosevelt) and my late uncle Beryl Senofsky, who won the Queen Elizabeth competition and soloed with the world's great orchestras. The best advice I can share is don't be like Beryl, as he rarely practiced, ate terribly unhealthy foods and didn't workout!
However as I am an older violinist (but still running and cycling) is to get good sleep, as that allows the body to heal, prevents getting viruses and other illness, and you will be on top of your game. Do some good stretching, some cardio and lift light weights, but definitely check with a trainer. I can't tell you how many of my friends, who were really good symphony players had all kinds of shoulder, arm, and hand issues when they got older, and one had a surgery or two and couldn't play for some years. Also, cardio is a good thing, which when I saw the New York Philharmonic over 20 years ago, I looked at the first violin section, and thought they were practicing really hard for a..... donut eating competition!
I close with encouraging you to engage with friends away from music (albeit at Curtis....not so easy!), and don't ever forget to have fun. Play well Ms. Hannah Tam, I'll look forward to hearing more of your music. Maybe next time....play something hard? LOL!
