RE: Why go to university?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I think that you will really appreciate my post for three tune tuesday tomorrow, it features my gorgeous and very talented cousin DR Leigh Carriage who is a Dr in music...
check out their websites as they are doing very successful things with their music other than just performing...it might give you and your son some ideas on how to expand the horizon within his musical career.
So this is Leigh, my first cousin and we grew up together as next door neighbours (very small country town) https://leighcarriage.com/home
And this is her husband Steve and they live in Byron Bay, which is not a huge town either, so they have diversified their musical talents and skills to use for other musically based endeavours

And Best wishes to your son, but I am sure that he will get in!
If he is sure that this is what he want to do, then he will make all the effort to win the spot and with you as his mum, encouraging him, then there will be no stopping him and I'll be going to see him play in a huge concert arena one day! 😃
Thank you @chocolatescorpi, I am looking forward to seeing your post and also thank you for the links, I opened now the pages of Leigh and Steve! 🎶
I will dive deeper into the topic and thanks for your wishes to my son 😉
Great, I was thinking that as Steve said in one of his blogs on his website about his new book here January is typically a quiet time in my date book, so in order to use my time well, I thought I should just write a book. In the last twenty years I have amassed piles of information on hand and arm physiology, gained many useful understandings about their efficient usage, and designed countless exercises to help students gain a strong, efficient and safe technique. Nine months later, my creation, Calm Hands, is approaching the final moments of design and layout, and is soon to be printed https://www.steverussell.com.au/the-latest
and so I though A) the book itself may come in handy for your sons own progression- even though Steve's would be more based for pianists, but I'm sure you son could adapt some of his techniques for his violining
but B), imagine if your son documented his journey- intentionally documented it, gathering knowledge and evidence as the way through the journey, then instead of waiting 20 years to write and publish a book like Steve did, your son could actually write a smaller series to help emerging musicians along the way...something like that anyway, but I'm sure that you guys have already thought of that and there are more ways to diversify but still directly relate all avenues back to the music like Leigh and Steve have done.
