About Me

I started playing the violin at 5, and not long after, I figured out a lot of ways to avoid practicing: tantrums, intensionally breaking strings, or just moving my voilin around the room to look like I'd been practicing. 15 years later, I started to enjoy the thing. I'm now at the ANU School of music, after a year at the Sydney Conservatorium. I'm in a bunch of bands around the place, but am always interested in more!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 27/08/2007
Influences: My main influences are the people I play with. I love buying records from $2 bins claiming to contain western swing fiddle greats, the heart of Romanian music, crying fiddles, and all that good stuff. Favorite fiddlers are Stephane Grapelli, Carla Kihlstedt, Joe Venuti, Don "Sugarcane" Harris, Sid Page, and Jascha Heifetz. Favorite composers to play are Kreisler, Rimsky-Korsakov and Ravel.
