Merry Christmas lovely people! 🎅🏻
After a year and a half as a Juilliard School grad student in New York City, I thought about taking you guys along one of the busiest times of the school year - December!
Come with me to prep for a day of class, practice, orchestra rehearsal, friends, and going to a concert in the evening at Carnegie Hall!
For my violin lessons, apply through my website: www.suminastuder.com/studio-1

I always felt like string players were better at ear training than us other instrumentalists because you are accustomed to listening so carefully on your instrument - no keys or valves to press.

I came here after watching some tutorial on how to make a sand waterfall for aquariums. Not sure why KZread wanted me to see this Julliard thing, but I’m glad it was recommended to me because it’s a lovely video.

It seems cool, but not surprising. Even famous people are still people, some are cool, some are less so. Since they have to eat after a concert better to eat with other people who have the same interests (music). Most of the reason that they cannot hang out all the time with everyone who wants is because they are busy so they have to organize their time. It was cool to see Sheku Kanneh Masin getting to eat and have fun! mostly when I see video of him is is pretty focused, whether playing or preparing to play!
Nice that Sumina got that 30 minute practice session. Imagine if she practiced 40 hours a day? Thank you for sharing your day at Julliard.

This is totally unrelated but I convinced my ex-girlfriend to buy a cello because she said it was a dream of her to learn how to play that instrument since she was a little girl, so I gave her a couple of lessons and she had potential, now that we broke up the cello is collecting dust in a random corner of her apartment, it breaks my heart and sometimes I feel the urge to buy it from her and give it to somebody who would appreciate it, it's not that it's an expensive cello it's like $1,500 but nevertheless it's meant to be played and taken care of like all musical instruments, so if you have an instrument just laying around dust it off and give it another try, or give it way to somebody who will love it, the world will be better because of it :)

I visited my coworker and his wife one day to play their baby a happy birthday song on my ukulele. We got to talking and he asked me if I would like his banjo. I had no idea they had a banjo because he never mentioned him attempting to play any instrument, but he had one in a case collecting dust in their walk in closet, and he just GAVE it to me. He told me all instruments should be appreciated and played by someone. Every instrument has potential and shouldn't be left to collect dust. I now play ukulele and banjo because of his special gift. I keep the banjo on a floor guitar stand right by my nightstand and play often. Forever grateful. I really hope that cello finds a good home.

"2020, I'm ready for you. Please, I need a fresh start." Oof, that didn't age well.
Its so interesting to me to hear such a seasoned violinist who has competed at so many international competitions talk about that they're just now learning to play the Beethoven Violin Concerto. I was astonished when I heard L. Biatashvilli state she only learned the Tchaikovsky late in her career. I always have the misconception that prodigies pretty much can play almost anything from like 12.
I'm a 78 year old portrait artist but early on my third grade music teacher wanted me to take up violin but I stuck with art.I still love the violin.
Thank you Sumina for making this year better for me, you've inspired me a lot and I hope next year treats you just as kindly 💕 your music moves me in a way that I cant describe, it's like it's so human in the way you express your pieces? Theres more emotion than what I'm used to hearing. Keep it up!!

ѕimply sarah it’s ok. I know it sucks to audition but if you are prepared you can focus on the music. The thing about nerves is they will make you sound 10 times worse on the day. You say you’re a freshman, pick audition rep now - don’t play it too much, keep it fresh, but make an effort towards making your final product 10 times better than you think you can play it, 10 times more prepared, knowing every single note in your head, even the rests, to the point where you literally cannot mess it up. You will thank yourself.

This was a lovely video. Thank you so much for the insightful glimpse at your life and at life at Juilliard. This was a great Christmas present for your fans.
I always forget that even the talented people usually go to school. I guess you're gaining a lot from that to your skill set, compared to just having violin lessons and practicing.

Hello! Thank you for the video. I was so curious about Juilliard when I visited New York, but the public was not allowed to see the school. I am a violinist and teacher, so I loved seeing the books on rhythm and how they use the Bach Chorales. I might study these too!

just found this channel and watched your Paganini vid from 2017, really great! Julliard is a tough place, friends of mine went and making it out intact is not easy...you were practicing some runs from a Mozart piece I believe and immediately knew that Yitzak Perlman had played in concert years ago...I think the dynamics are more apparent depending on the room you play in and mic position, but suffice it to say, it was great listening..congrats on everything!
Stumbled upon your video. Very cool! My son goes there as well. Sterling Elliott, cellist. He is a junior. Good luck to you!
You are amazing
Bruh the last time I saw her video was her Paganini video but I’m happy she got into Juilliard !
so proud of you my friend
Thanks for sharing! always hear Julliard mentioned in movies. :)
Holy shit she is so effortlessly great
The good thing about rhythmic and ear training is that it is going to improve your ability to see a piece of music and hear it in your head (rhythm, direction of melody,etc). that way your expectations of what it will sound like when you play it will be closer to reality and will facilitate better intonation and rhythm when you play. It is hard now because you are not as familiar, but it will serve you well later, so it is time well spent. Good for you for working hard on the things that aren't as fun; future you will thank you!

When you walked into your practice room- I felt the “neglect” comment. It’s so easy to lose focus sometimes (I’m a principle vocalist). I feel trapped in our practice rooms at Frost. Best of luck as you continue your journey.
I saw someone else from the ‘80’s commented about the ear training books being the same. He also was impressed by the cafeteria. Our cafeteria had vending machines with cockroaches, nice step up! We had a terrible time finding practice rooms, I would just go down to the sub basement ( A level) and practice for hours. My dinners were often a “dog” at “Greys Papaya”! Still a blast! Nice vid!
