How do you keep the orchestra warm in the winter? Smash up all the violas and make a fire. The sound won't be missed!

@@brandoisthy6678 Viola players like second position, I think because of their clef. But as a violinist I like 1,3,5,7 Well, that's two more! What's the difference between a viola and a vacuum cleaner? A vacuum cleaner has to be plugged in before it sucks.
Being a Violist, this just makes me more excited for the future of auditioning and where I might be. 6 year update: I quit music and became a CPA lol.

Jacob Zufall Why do you say that viola is harder? I've played both (violin is my main instrument though) and I'd say they're about equal in difficulty.

The viola is so underrated! I love playing the viola! It has such a beautiful, deep, velvety tone
i met this guy once in the halls of Juilliard when i was a kid. (he tried to throw a piece of paper in the trash and missed lol) really wholesome guy who loves helping others achieve their dreams of music.
this is fantastic editing! Juilliard seems like such a fulfilling experience for a musician
Your attitude and passion are amazing! Thanks for being such a badass and taking the time to inspire and encourage the rest of us!
You and your zing that shines through in what you share always makes me smile! Thanks! -Cheers from an Aussie Violist!
I love how he gets so into the music. I'm in band and people that just get so into the music make me happy because they're doing what they love
I went to two of his concerts in Atlanta, he was amazing! a real inspiration😊😊

I have worked with Drew for several projects (one right now as well) and he is a true artist. Fantastic musician and guy, and puts such an effort into his performances. Awesome dude!
You make me feel so good. I'm going to try to get into Juilliard next year with my sax. You are really inspiring me. Thank you!
Juliard is a top notch music performance school. You got to be good. That school is well known.
In my side the world, almost every violist or classical Instrumentalist I've known is self taught. There are very little available resources like you have here in this video. With time, the passion fades away when the incoming responsibilities of an adult sets in. We still love our violins and we will continue to play while we have some breath left. #Wakandaforever
It would be so amazing and inspiring to see a day in the life of a vocal major at Juilliard!

I played the viola for 6 years and hated it to see someone so passionate about it is amazing.
You are inspiring. I love music. It's part of my life and will always be in my heart but it's hard to pursue it as a career. But I still love music performance.
This clip truly makes me miss the violin. I used to have a strong drive for music, and that no longer exists. I still pick up my fiddle and do some scales, old songs I'd learned, and fiddle tunes. But the willingness to drown myself in music again is not there. This video gives me a small taste of that love I once had.
Haha I love the shot from the scroll of the viola! Cool to see another day in the life of a string player! Thanks :)
I’m a violinist, but I still think that viola and cello are very underrated.

The Juilliard School Thank you so much! :)
I’d love to see these videos with more instruments. Really great!
This is a beautiful video!
Focusing on music- whether at Julliard or any other non-university music school- seems splendid. Everything one does helps them grow as a musician. Conversely, when one is studying at a high school (especially a small one with a poor music program), they are forced to waste energy on things that do not help them improve (brass players understand this especially). I cannot wait until life feels like Summer vacation all of the time; I can play etudes, excerpts, exercises, and solos that help me improve, and I can do so for more than a mere two hours each day.
Clicked on this video because it's nice to see a fellow violist
This is great!
I will be wonderful to see video like this about opera students :)
You are a good guy. Greetings from London.
I play viola and even tho I go to a school with only a band KZread is a help and I look forward to reaching my goal of going to Juilliard my dream school
He has got a wonderful voice too!
love the story!
I love this !!
I really want to go to this school. I want a career in Rock N Roll and with the knowledge taught in this school it will help me
Cool. I am a novice to the viola life. I just started Orchestra at my school.
Yes! Go Drew!
This is amazing
Is there a way I can find a list of all the members in the orchestra? Great video btw!

I like the song at 1:30.
what is the title of the music you played at 1:30?
What a fantastic story..
Anyone know what the piece is when Drew's talking about the Gluck Fellowship?
I am so in love with That viola kid 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 he is so perfect 😍
I play cello... As u can tell by my username and I LOVE HIM so much the second a video pops up I watch it and his Instagram... He does master classes and a lot of other stuff I just love to watch while cleaning or whatever... It's super weird but he inspires me to become a better cellist and to not care that other people in my class think I'm a terrible cellist... Even though I'm about 60% sure they're kidding 😂😂😂 Yeah just Drew is the best I love ThatViolaKid and ever since I started watching his vids I just feel like I can actually BE GOOD 😂😂😂
Beautiful piece in the background starting at 3:58 Does anyone know the name of the piece??

I love music with a burning passion. Music is my life, couldn’t imagine my life without the special connection/bond I’ve been blessed to have with music. I have been playing the violin since 4th grade and I’m in 11th now. I’m joining chamber orchestra as well as treble Choir which are the competitive groups at my school. I’m honestly very nervous about life because I’m unsure about what I should do. I know I want music to be incorporated in my life and potentially a career for me but I don’t know if I’m personally Good enough to get into a great school like Juilliard because I like playing the violin but I know there’s others who are better from taking private lessons, I love dancing but yet, I’ve never taken dance classes before in my entire life. I love acting and being apart of musicals etc but again, others are better than me from their advantages of doing many musicals and being able to take acting classes. On another note, I also love singing. I’m an Alto and I love doing all of these things equally so it’s very hard to decide and even if I wanted to apply for a school like this and take the next step music wise, I always have that question of “am I good enough”... I guess the three top things I love doing is dancing, singing and playing my violin. I also have found myself interested in songwriting and playing piano but ugh I don’t really know, it’s hard to decide because another question I’d have for myself is can I do them all because I feel like I’d have to choose between them all and stick to just one thing and Lord knows, I simply wouldn’t be able to because my life revolves around the music and the arts world itself, it doesn’t revolve around one part of art like dance or just drama or just vocals, or instruments, or songwriting, instead it’s all for me. Then there’s this side of me that loves helping people, specifically children so I could settle for a career that helps children like a teacher or a social worker but then my question would be “would I truly be satisfied” and I don’t want to miss out on an experience I could have with music but also trying to distinguish if I should just keep music as a hobby and do what everyone else does as a career will be best for me. I’ve never wanted to settle for a job or career that doesn’t involve my passion because my passion is just apart of who I am but I fear that me not having the same advantages as others, will truly set me back even if I wanted to try to apply to an amazing school like this that would allow me to gain so much knowledge and go far.

I am a high school composer and will soon be applying for schools. Can someone tell the difference between music education in Europe vs US? I am a very traditional tonal composer and I want to go somewhere that will really help me in that path.
