Hey guys! This post is a template for some of the kinds of things you might want to post yourself in the group. However it's also a question I'm really interested in: I'm learning right now the third concerto from Saint-Saens, and was wondering who has advice on the piece if they've played it recently, or a favourite recording? Happy Practising P.S. feel free to share anything about problems you might have, what you're working on, goal with practise. We want people to connect like friends and be made better than we would alone

Hey, I'm Tiago Reis, and I'm from Portugal and I'm 26 years old! I’ve been playing the violin since I was 5 years old, although unfortunately I’m not a professional musician yet. However, I play at weddings (melodyo.pt), in orchestras (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naSttnjrJxw&t=1724s) and in other musical events like that (can you see my personal profile too: https://www.instagram.com/tiagooreis__/), because my love and my passion is the violin. In the future, I would really like to become a professional violinist. I’m going to start lessons with a teacher at a music school because I want to enter the conservatory, and I hope that one day I’ll be able to study music at university. It’s my dream, and I want to guide my life in that direction. :) This community helps me a lot because I can find useful content and techniques to improve my studies and practice in a more focused and effective way. My dream is to play the Sibelius Concerto. I’m absolutely amazed by Augustin Hadelich’s interpretation of this concerto. He is my idol, and I love the passion he puts into the violin. So, thank you for everything. You’re a great influence on people like me, honestly. I believe I’ll improve a lot thanks to this community. See you, Tiago Reis
