A String With a Difference

Hi, Welcome to our Journey
As you can see we are identical twins and very passionate about music especially violin. We are 12 years old and have been given a wonderful opportunity to go to the UK for a musical educational experience, including meeting up with Nigel Kennedy (the famous violinist). We just need some help getting there.

Hi everyone. We thought that we would tell you about violin strings. There are so many different types of strings. When we started playing violin we had no idea of the different quality of strings that you can choose from. Strings range in price, starting with very cheap and going up to quite expensive. As you get better at playing the violin and start to try the different strings you notice that there is a big difference in the tone that the strings make when played. We like to use 'Larsen' strings which are silver strings and an OK price. But we have just got a new E string (because they break and need replacing) and it is a gold string (not much more expensive than silver). It is amazing. The sound is so smooth, it's just beautiful to play on!!!!!!!
We have been asked to do the music for a wedding which is exciting. We used to live near the bride-to-be when we started on the violin. She was lucky enough to hear us play 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' badly for months! We have improved quite a bit since then. Ha Ha! We will be playing
1 - Hornpipe from Handel's Water music
2 - Pachelbels Canon
3 - Flower Duet from Lakme - Delibes
4 - Winter - Vivaldi
5 - Dream a Little Dream of Me
And a couple of others yet to be chosen.
The wedding is on 24th June - we will let you know how we go.
We are planning to go busking next weekend to raise some more money for our trip. Don't forget if you would like to help us get to Europe you can contact us or donate on the Support Us page.
We will be posting again on Monday next week.

Tune in Soon   A & R
