Accuradio Violin Soloists

It is almost three years since I wrote a blog article about Accuradio. Tonight I am writing about it again because of a channel I have been listening to recently. It is the Violin Soloists channel. Here is a link:

Violin Soloists

Don't be alarmed. This link launches the player. I have been trying to listen to this when I can since I started learning the violin. I always enjoy the music. Once in a while a piece from there makes it onto my wish list. I think they have a great variety of music and artists. There are options to "ban" certain artists or composers but I really don't see the point of that.

I believe I have a wide taste in music. I will listen to almost anything at least once. I love 80s music. I enjoy classical music (I have my ticket for the Tokyo String Quartet's final tour). I was a heavy metal fan for years and still listen to some of it these days. I know more than a few Johnny Cash tunes too. Variety is the spice of life I believe, and that applies to music as well. Why do I mention this? Because I sometime wonder what sort of music I would like to play when I become proficient with the violin. In the end I think I would like to play a little bit of everything. I want to play pop music and classical musical and gypsy music. I want to play happy pieces and sad pieces. I really don't have a preference. The one requirement I might have is to play music with which I can connect, or feel on some level. Certainly time will tell. I started writing my entries about my lessons mostly as a way to keep track of what I have learned and how I am going. I hope to keep up my entries as I learn to play new pieces.

Happy listening everyone.
