After my second violin lesson here at the University of Michigan, my private violin professor assigned me his best doctorate student to work with, take lessons from, and use as a mentor. She attended Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the best music school in the country, and moved here all the way from Korea at just fourteen years old. After asking a few freshman and my orchestra stand partner, a senior violinist in the School of Music who also takes lessons from my violin professor, if they found themselves experiencing this kind of intensity, I realized the answer. The senior looked at me with a crazy look on her face as I told her I had two lessons per week, with two different teachers, in addition to all of my classes and my personal practice time.
After reading this, I felt as though the story came alive, for there were no concrete feelings being portrayed using the conjugated 'be' verbs.
Wow. You must be a very busy student. As I am from Philadelphia, I wonder if the doctorate student has ever played at the Kimmel Center. This Center is the most beautiful performing arts venues that I have ever seen. If you ever go to Philadelphia, you should definitely check it out. I have a feeling you would love it!
