I starting new blog

I'm start blog again, because I have to write blog every week. That is my one of the homework. However, I am not choosing what I writing about, so I would write what happening in one week.

This week's Monday, I didn't have a school, because that day was my school's holiday. In Tuesday, I went to school little bit faster than usually, because I woke up faster than usual. The first period was music. We sang some canon, then we chose song when we sing Christmas concert. That song is Heal the world.

After the music, we had social studies. First, we got the tests result. My score was not too bad. We doing the print, then finish the classes. The third period was English. We have to do project. We have to create a story that is similar to Cinderella.

Lunch time is after the English. We like lunch time, because we can talk with friends, play game, and we can use computer.

After lunch time, my class mate had a science, but I had a ESL, because I can’t speak English not much. The next period and last period was a Math. I don’t remember what we do in Math class. In this way, the day was over.

In fact, I didnt go to the school Tuesday to Friday, because I had to take a violin video. So I can’t write any more this week. Next day, probably I will write about what happening in one week. See you next week.

My favorite no longer violinists

Hello everyone! Today, I would introduce about my favorite no long here violinists. First, my favorite violinists are Jascha Heifetz. People called "king of violinists" He started violin when he was 3 years old. He teaches from Ilya Malkin, he is a Leopold Auer's student. In 1910, he went Russian music school, because he wanted study to Leopold Auer. After he studied Auer, when he was teen, he came to most Europe for his concert.In 1917, he lived in America, because he ordered to avoid the Russian Revolution. He never gives up to hard practice violin and that he showed interesting. So people mistake Asperger's syndrome. However, he was many amazing original violin skill. For example his bowing speed is faster than other violinist, but when return of the bow, it was very slow and very polite.  Second my favorite violinist is a Jinette Neveu. People called violinist of tragedy, because her life is short time. She was born in France, her mother was a violin teacher, and father was an amateur violinist. When Jinette was young, her mother teach violin to her. In 1930, she went to France music school. After one year ago, she participation to competition in Vienna. When very good violinist Carl fresh was listening her playing, he wrought letter to Jinette's parents, content is a Jinette should go to Berlin for study violin. So her family was moving in Berlin after two years. After four years ago, she participation to competition in Warsaw, she won, then she became star. However, when she was 30 years old, she aboard airplane, it was crashed. When discovered her body, she saddled with her violin. Now, after the 64 years we can’t be more than her. She was very very good violinist.

Modern violin's feature

Hi, everyone. Today, I would explain about three characteristics of a modern violin.

First, Modern violin is made about 150 years ago,  so younger than old violin (Stradivarius, Guarneri Del gesu, etc.) so sound is so powerful and clear, but hard to play. If I play strong, sound become dirty. If I play softly, we can’t listen sound.  

Secondary, modern violin is newer than old violin, so state of preservation is pretty good and cheaper than old violin, because I think old violin is valuable, because it can’t be made it.

The lastly, modern violin’s colour is lighter than old violin, because violin’s colour became darker after make about 250 years.

I think old violin is better than modern violin. Because I think old violin sound is a better than modern violin, and easy to playing.

Next day, I would explain bout violin bow. See you next week.

Happy for me, and sad for me

On May 3 2013, and May 6 2013, I participated in a violin competition. If I wind the competition, I can join the concert with NHK orchestra. Then I won the competition!

On June 16 2013, I have a concert in Minatomirai hall.

For this competition, I used Alessandro Gagliano’s violin.  

 I am so shock and sad, because I have to give back my rental violin to my teacher, because he has to use the violin in his concert. My rental violin is really beautiful, looking and sounds amazing too. One day, I really want my own great violin.

Next day, I would explain about modern violin. See you next week.

My rental violin and that history.

Hey guys. Today, I would explain about Gagliano, and which I am renting from my violin tutor right now.

Alessandro Gagliano was born in Naples at 1640. He learned how to make violin from Antonio Stradivari and Nicolo Amati, so he lived in Cremona for 30 years. But he came back Naples on 1695.  Meantime,He taught his children how to make violin. His children names were Niccolo Gagliano, and Gennaro Gagliano. Alessandro was didn't stop making violin until his dead.

My rental violin is made by Alessandro Gagliano, this is really good instrument, because really good sounds, big sounds, and looks really good!!

Next day, I would explain history of violin bow. See you week and have a good Golden Week.

Geology of Guarneri family

Hello everyone, do you know Guarneri Family? Maybe, most people don’t know them, because this family was not famous. But they were really important violin makers. So today, I would explain about how important Guarneri family is to the violin industry. 

First, Guarneri family's violin making began with Andrea Guarneri. Violin maker of Guarneri family were in total five people, it is same number as Amati family. 

Andrea guarneri was taught by Nicolo Amati just like Stradivarius

Stradivarius stayed in Amati studio for a longtime and this helped Stradivarius gain his fame.  On the other hand, although Andrea Guarneri's violin was as good as the one of Stradivarius.  He did not become famous because he left Amati Studio after only short period of time.

The most known violin maker of Guarneri family was Andrea Guarneri and Giuseppe Guarneri (Guarneri Del Gesu)

Notable characteristics of Andrea Guarneri's violin were its strong sound and its small frame.

Giuseppe Guarneri (Guarneri Del Gesu) was famous for untidy finish yet beautiful sound.
