Broo it’s so amazing to see you capture this style and make it yours. This is so Drew Forde and it’s exactly what I wanted to see when I clicked! Taste 🔟 Technique 🔟 Originality 🔟 And the passionnnn! 🔟
I can't wait to show people this video when they ask me, "what's a viola?" Been learning to play for a few months and get that question all the time. You absolutely inspire me.
I started paying, the Viola last year in 6th grade. I’m now in 7th, and in Middle school Orchestra. You are an absolute inspiration to me. There isn’t a lot of people who make videos with playing violas. You have to be my number 1, Viola player I’ve seen! Thank you.
Why I can't do multiple likes on this video? One like seems not enough to express my love for this arragement ❤ You & Alicia are superb. Beautiful piece
Amazing!! Been following you on ig since I was in music school - huge inspo! I’m so hyped to show this to my 7th grade music students because we’re singing it in class! Thanks for the killer cover!
I was scrolling on TH-cam and you popped up and I saw your name and I remembered it from something. Then I remembered 3 years ago when you came to my school and preformed. And I came on the stage with some other guys and we played instruments with you. So cool to see you on TH-cam, and with 34k subs.
OMG I just found out about your channel! I started the viola when I was 10 years old. Never played anything before it and kept at it until I graduated high school. My little brother also followed my path. Unfortunately, we don't play the viola anymore after graduating and donated the viola to the middle school. I don't have the money for a new viola but I hope to one day find my way back to it soon.
Yo Drew, I have a question (Good cover doe) whenever I do vibrato or play on the g and c strings my arms hurt and I do not know why I am not tense in any way and I have a shoulder rest and I am still having trouble with it I sending this as a video request so I can see your tips thanks and have a good day!
Hi Darryl! I’d love to help, but this explanation doesn’t give me enough information to confidently diagnose the technical problem! Can you tell me anything else?
Ok so what I was saying was if I am playing any repertoire that requires a lot of use of the c and g strings when I play vibrato it stains my arm muscles and currently, I am practicing my wrist vibrato but my whole arm is moving a lot so that might be the problem but I do not really know how to stop that from happening. Hope this clears some things up.

How many inches is your viola, If I may ask?

is there a way for me to get my hands on this sheet music? love your playing!!
I started writing the music, but got side tracked! I wasn't sure if anyone would want it! I'll put that on my long list of things to do =)
My 13 yr old wants to know if you ever finished the sheet music. She wants me to buy it right now @thatviolakid
You Fire man
Nice! You should check out Peter Lee Johnson's cover!
Peter Lee Johnson is the man!!
