This video is intended for musicians who are currently studying at a conservatory, particularly those in their first year of learning the violin or even before that. It's possible that your professor strongly emphasizes focusing solely on your examinations and a single instrument (such as the violin), discouraging any exploration beyond that, even if it falls within the realm of music education. Your professor has your best interests at heart, aiming for your success in life, whether that means winning prizes in competitions or securing a lifelong contract with an orchestra upon graduation.

However, one might wonder whether a narrow specialization truly helps in expanding musical horizons and increasing the chances of creating a more fulfilling career. Some musicians prefer to have a broader and deeper experience with music, recognizing that quality remains essential. This approach, employed successfully by multi-instrumentalists for centuries, allows for a more comprehensive understanding of music and opens doors to new possibilities in one's musical journey. Your thoughts and insights matter, comment below and if you see some value in the revival of lost musical cultures and helping musicians find their unique voice and open new career opportunities, feel free to subscribe to my channel. #shorts

For your information: in this video I am playing violoncello da spalla. On my YT channel as well as websites and across the social you are welcome to learn more about this instrument as well as how currently violin-viola players are expanding their musical colour pallets.
