Decision making is hard especially when it comes to dropping a passion. Not sure how to feel about this.

I’ve been playing the violin for 5 years now. From 6th grade, my skills over the years since middle school have become much better, but will they go any further after this? As course selections are going on, I’m deciding if I should drop this class for different electives. The reason is because I’m comfortable of where I am right now, I know the basic skills and some advanced. Would I call myself a professional? I’d say I’m right in the middle.  And of course colleges love to see that I did this activity for such a long time, but they also like multiple of them. Therefore I might switch to art journalism..

Anyways, here’s where we currently are:

At the beginning of quarter 3 our original orchestra teacher resigned and Dr. Brewer gave an announcement that there will be a long-term teacher (Mr. Hay) until another teacher is found. He also said that he knows how annoying it is that we haven’t found a teacher that can stay for more than 1 year.

Our spring concert is coming in April and we’re doing 4 pieces of music right now. What I like about them is that they are all different from our previous and more challenging. I like how we have more dynamics and bow movements. The sound is so beautiful too.

Do you have an instrumental skill?
