Questions for you:

Have a friend that own a similar truck GMC Olson Kurbmaster prob. from the 1980's. The back door to the trunk is a metal latch for the trunk. Under the latch was a long piece of metal with 2 hooks where he put a padlock to keep it shut. Were the metal piece with hooks for the p...

Many people have heard of the El Sistema music program in Venezuela started by economist and musician José Antonio Abreu. Students ended up in the national Simón Bolívar Orchestra are from poor slums. Music education is free, instruments donated.

The program's success is that students perform in...

In Chinese Cantonese the announcer introduced the girl as being very young. Every question asked behind the stage she looked at the commentator before answering. Please give applause for Tse Tsz Ching, this year is 6-yrs old.

When asked why she started violin so young: at 3 yrs 9 m...

At least her playing is less boring than watching videos of Suzuki Book 1 & 2 performances. If this is the level of playing many people expect her to be in, then you would be listening to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star", "Allegretto", "Perpetual Motion" or the infamous: "Minuet in G" from the Ann...

We tend to forget the parents were really the intended audiences. In the beginning we all make mistakes. It takes a lot of encouragement from them to move forward. Reminds me of my first concert with my high school band. We tried our best although we had a few mistakes.

However, I would prefer t...

Sounded like the 3rd movement to an organ concerto by Bach. Nice sound.

Not familiar with this piece. Sounded like something from the 17th or the 18th century. Nicely done...

A slower version than I expected. Sounded more like an Adagio

Exactly the kind of thing you see Japanese designers architects & designers do. How to live in tiny spaces and still feel comfortable.

A wakeup call the concept of home ownership that you don't really own your castle until it is paid for in full. Having a title to your property doesn't mean it c...

The tempo definitely needs to be in Vivace. Sounded more like half way between Allegro & Moderato...

An interesting rearrangement of a piece made for 1 solo violin into a piece for a group. And instead of the group playing all the solo parts there are places where the group would come in and other parts with just background sound (presumably from an orchestra).

I play with a community band. I can't let that ruin a performance when everyone else is trying to do their best.

Fortunately I don't have to rely on good memory or good ears. I carry a portable keyboard if I am not playing near a piano. And there are sites that let you download notation program ...

Never seen people play like they're in aerobics class. Interesting...

Nice playing with expression.

The opening for almost 2 minutes in D minor and then sounded like there was a key change to D major for a while before switching back....

Nice playing from memory but too much like an exercise piece (lacking emotions)...

Watch that squeak on the F# in the middle section (Gavotte II). OUCH!

Never heard the Suzuki arrangement before. Thought you can play just a touch faster to give a livelier sound.

From the Orchestra Suite #3 by Bach after Air played with a string ensemble & horns. Heard a few note changes & double-stops added in the middle section... to turn Vln 1 into a Vln Solo ...

Thanks for the Music Library I had not explored. Looking at my earlier downloads with wrong notes, obviously done with a notation editor which some don't have a feature for adding ornamentation symbols or the editor was just lazy not to put them in.

Since the Suites were ...

Got some nice playing here...

What I like about the Suzuki method is that they really teach people to play by ear. You don't see any sight-reading (off sheet music) here...

From what I've heard, got a few keys covered here including C, A minor & D minor. Keep practicing and you will be a pro...

We definitely need free tutorials online like this. People like me with average intelligence have learned to play later in life in their 30s & 40s.

The only comment I have is that there is a lot of talk trying to describe a concept to make it easy to understand like the "Computer For Dummies" ap...

Compare to some of the players posted, playing a bit heavy.

Hope you don't mind me commenting on 1 wrong note: after the last chord of the intro FACF where the top sequence of notes go CDCD(hold...) FEDCEF(hold...) the 2nd sequence should be FEbDCEF(hold...) where the first is an E-flat and the 2...
