Who Cares About the USA?

Who cares about the USA?

I know there aren't as many passionate, successful violinists, for instance.  If there are, they aren't as sought after in the big picture.

The largest percentage of ethnicity and of race in the USA is German.

Still, can we trust people who care? especially Germany? because they have good classical music and it's probably something people secretly desire to know or wish they played.

Attacking Parents of Other Races and/or Ethincities

Just because someone wasn't a perfect parent does not mean you can ruin their life.  They were actually much better than others, in some cases.  They might have it hard and will be fed trash that they should not have cared so much about their kids, but then they are reminded that they also weren't fun enough or something, something you do with other people outside of your family, in some cases it seemed back in the day.

Do you want people to have fun with their families and not socialize with you?

Youth in America: Classical Music Was "Good"

It seems like every violinist in the USA has a joke to tell, their story transmitted by means other than just words.  I know it's good.  I did keyboard instruments and church choir was my favorite activity.  Unfortunately, it did not prepare me to be a professional. I was probably considering opera or musical theater, too, and also did dance.  To tell you the truth, I would come back to classical piano.  It is a big study in music to play an instrument.  If dancers like the music they dance to, then playing a musical instrument is a great joy, if you're wondering how that's possible.

How Active are Musicians From Late Generation X?

I was looking through a list of blogs by violinists, the most active seemed to be the one named "Plucky Violin Teacher."  It seems she must be very active in her passion.

I went on to review the next blog, and she teaches plus performs.

You know, I started off violin in a group class my first year of college for Music Education.  I decided to try to learn it when I was 29 about to turn 30 in about a month.  I feel I could have had a good career.  I'm 32 now.  I considered getting a doctorate in Music Education or Music Performance moreso.  I'm guessing the "Plucky Violin Teacher" is already a great violinist but feels it is best to be good at something like teaching it.  Maybe, most American violinists are subconsciously confused about how they feel about classical music in the USA versus Europe or Germany.  That's probably why they seem so lethargic.  High school's over, and so is college.

Classical Music: Why People Do It or Don't Do It

For instance, I did piano when my little brother was a little kid.  He seems to have an extra sense for music.  I am guessing, therefore, that people who don't do classical music don't think the classical music that is out there is played well.  The other thing is that elderly ladies in countries, like the US or other than Germany, probably influence them to think of it in ways that aren't fun.  People like me get by because we're not tired of when we're thinking about it, for whatever reason, but meaning not tired in general.
