I'm Back! And Jimmy Lin!

After a long absence, I have returned to the land of music posts! I will try to keep them current but life with a new baby (she is 4 months old now!) is rather hectic. Being a new mommy and a musician is wonderful, and I feel so blessed to have both in my life, even if it means playing a graduate recital when you're 8 months pregnant or a masterclass when you have had no sleep!

Speaking of masterclasses, I played the first movement of the Beethoven Violin Concerto this week for Cho-Liang Lin. He was very kind, but very adamant about playing the violin well! Although I could sense his slight frustration with my "lazy right arm," he gave me some great advice on sound production and freedom in playing. Despite the fact that I was asked to play for the class at the last minute and had to scramble to find a babysitter, I was grateful for the opportunity!
