    As a professional violinist, just have to say that 11 hours is INSANITY and a recipe for disaster - by that I mean the kind of injury that can knock out a violinist for a good year, if not more. Also it's not mentally healthy. For reference, most professionals practice no more than 4 hours a day. Actually even 4 is A LOT! Maybe it works for her now since she's very young but I would advise to be careful and be mindful...

      I'm a musician (BA) and violin was my primary instrument and I couldn't agree with you more. I'm glad to see she is doing yoga and stretching but with 11 hours of practice it's so important to do cool down stretches with foam rollers and have Epsom salt bath after practice. She's definitely young so she can get away with it now but it might bite her back later on as she ages...
      Also just because you do practice long hours doesn't mean you're doing effective practice.

    She practices 11 hours a day & only uses rosin every few days?! Edit: also student violinists do NOT hold yourself to this standard or feel disheartened. This young lady’s commitment is very inspiring and she is very talented, but she is very lucky to have the privilege of attending a top junior college, as well as a supportive family. Most people can’t practice that much in a day because they don’t have the physical space, their parents are asleep or working etc etc. I’ve played the violin for 13 years & am training as a professional & we are always advised not to over practice because of the mental and physical strain.

      11 hours of anything a day is a lot, however violin is something that she loves. I’m not discrediting anyone who doesn’t practice that much and still finds a lot of joy in violin but I don’t think she should be ridiculed for practicing as much as she does. The longest I will ever practice violin a day is 4 hours and I can’t even imagine practicing for 6 let alone 11 hours. I do have other priorities in my life though and I do not see myself as a world renowned violinist. She is likely pursuing violin as a career just as most Olympic athletes pursue their sports.

The body would feel so much fatigue and it’s not healthy. It’s not good to promote practice time like that because it’ll make young violinists think that that’s what they have to do to be like her.

      Lindsey may be a pop violinist, but keep in mind, she's worked very hard to make a name for herself and has been the inspiration for many young people to pick up an instrument and start playing. Sure she's no Perlman or Heifetz, but she shows the non-classical world how cool the violin can be, since most non-musicians think of violin as just a "regular, plain" instrument made only to play "boring classical music". And who knows, maybe Lindsey plays Bach and Paganini in her free time too.

    Even though her story is very inspiring, I think the amount that she practices per day (11 hours) is very misleading and encourages things that aren’t really healthy for aspiring musicians around her age. 11 hours of practicing each day isn’t healthy in any sense-mentally or physically-and will tire her out eventually. Maybe being a violinist is her career path, but just like for a professional athlete, training all day everyday and taking very short breaks like 30 minutes isn’t good at all.

    Practicing 11 hours a day? OMG. I'm at university and my maximum is 6-8 hours a day. She's really talented, it's nice to see younger people getting into classical music like this.

    Jeez, when I was 14 I was nowhere near as mature as her and had only been playing the violin for two years.. very badly 😂 I'm in music school now and I'm not nearly as good as her but she's an inspiration. I got really serious in high school but four hours was the max for me back then (now I normally do 3-5)

    Anyone notices that how she smirks slightly like Brett when she plays? She's amazing; Ling Ling nods in approval🥺
