As a fellow violinist and private teacher, what advice would you give a younger violinist who wants to study performance?

Also - which is your favorite concerto to play?

Hi Nathan! If you had an hour to do an efficient set, what would it look like? Let's say for a freestyle generalist, in a short course pool :)

Yes! These are great tips, especially the need for an all-consuming passion for music - both the fun and less-fun aspects. On the performance front, any good tips or tricks for managing performance anxiety on stage as a soloist?

Love the Brahms! I've been big on Mendelssohn lately, but am finally diving into some Sibelius for the first time...it's a doozy, but a fun one!

Oh man, this is great advice! I of course have struggled with performance anxiety of my own, so these are great resources for both myself and my students. Appreciate the feedback!
