      @@perrybrown4985 Not at all. I do essay based subjects and I write really quickly so I always finish my essays before the time and I have nothing to do for a good 20 minutes in every exam. It's not about needing to do something outside of the exam, it's about not sitting there doing nothing for ages since after you check yourself the second time (which doesn't take long) you have absolutely nothing to do.

    imagining meeting someone at 13/14 years old and becoming friends when you learn you're both playing the violin at the same level, sharing the same cultural background and all that comes with it, being supportive instead of meanly competitive, growing up with the same experiences and dreams and direction in life, with different personalities syncing on the same wavelength, literally liking most of the same things, and not even fighting despite spending so much time together that most people in your shoes would have gouged each other's eyes out already. the planets must have aligned and all the violas were silent the moment you became friends not knowing in a decade or so you would be forming twoset violin and inspiring people to love for the first time or fall in love again with classical music, with the violin, and with you two and your awesome friendship, and in this essay i will

Something I've noticed is that as I improve, I can practise more effectively. It still seems like quite a challenge but I realise that at best, Grade 8 is the end of being a beginner😬I joined a piano group and play for people when I get the opportunity, it really helps and to hell with the damn nerves!

They haven't said anything about it. And in several Valentine's day videos, they were flirty with each other as satire. They had the shipping coming for them. Basically, with that being said I don't think they have a problem with it.

      Inday Rin Yeah, you're right, it's just that sometimes I get the feeling that we take it too far and they don't always like it. And I wouldn't want them to grow cold and awkward with each other on camera by fear that if they don't we'll ship them even more (it's happened before with other pairs of celebrities that people shipped). I just hope that if it does become too much for them, they'll tell us so we can tone it down.

There were always discarded things from other peoples' instruments and empty bags of chips in the corner (shout-out to the brave soul that was practicing while eating flaming hot cheetos all the time: I know that your instrument stayed getting dirty on the daily).

Listen to your peers play and give suggestions right in front of your teacher, where they can confirm whether or not your suggestions were valuable and made sense. So great to participate in for performing and great to participate in for teaching practice as well. A lot of the people in my studio hated getting up and performing and also were so hesitant to make any comments at all, which is their loss. That's pretty much the best thing I can recommend for forming confidence in your interpretative opinion.

You know how frustrating it is to read an essay and want to find the work referenced...and have a bad freaking reference??? Especially if you're working on a research project? There are websites that will format the info for you. Word will format it for you. For the love of all things good and holy, references are important!
    K, rant over. All said and done, replace 'practice' with 'study' and all the sudden these stories all sound really familiar. I guess university is university, whatever the degree, whatever the country.

      Same. As a linguist, I hate when people don't reference correctly because then I have to do so much extra work to find their sources. Ahhh!!!
