In almost every public restroom at a store/restaurant, there's usually a sign saying employees must wash hands yada yada... my question is, do employees even have to actually follow this rule?
Its not like they can install camers in the bathrooms to check if you do, and what kind of punishment would they give if you're caught not washing your hands?
just curious
I'll be going into my senior year of High-school this year, and I've started my application process for colleges now. I've been playing viola since the 6th grade, but for the first 4 months all lessons were online due to covid (extremely detrimental to my technique). Now I've taken a lot of effort to get better, and I feel like im confident enough to say im pretty good now?
The thing is that I don't really understand how I compare to other people in my age group who also play viola. Right now im currently preparing Walton viola concerto Mov.1, hindemith viola sonata Opus 25. no1 , and bach suite 3 for my college auditions.
My teachers have told me that they are confident in my abilities to get into wherever I want with viola, but i just cant help but feel that they are just trying to make me feel good about myself. My tutor is especially confident in my ability to get into julliard, and even offered to give me a very expensive viola if I get accepted.
While I don't think im a bad player or anything, I just don't feel like I play on the level that they think im on. Im still very much an amateur, and have many problems with tone and technique that have stemmed from my early years from learning. I have also met other people my age in things like all region and my auditions for all state who sound way better than me, so I know its not like im the best of the best. Is the bar for college orchestras low or something?
That's all for now. I could send a audio clip of my playing if I can find one from a past recital.
