After a year and a half as a Juilliard School grad student in New York City, I thought about taking you guys along one of the busiest times of the school year - December!
Come with me to prep for a day of class, practice, orchestra rehearsal, friends, and going to a concert in the evening at Carnegie Hall!
For my violin lessons, apply through my website: www.suminastude...

âIâm ready for 2020â she said
"Haha, no" 2020 said
2020: ahaha bitches
At least someone was đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
She was not ready
Little did she know
I always felt like string players were better at ear training than us other instrumentalists because you are accustomed to listening so carefully on your instrument - no keys or valves to press.
Also all orchestra instruments are tuned in the same key, and all of the strings are in perfect 5ths which makes it easy to tune by ear once you're more advanced
Christina Walker I would also say Trombonists have to do the same thing
@@christinawalker6356 double bass is actually tuned in 4th
@@kriswilson6081 the open string notes are the same as violin which is 5ths, e a d and g
@@christinawalker6356 yes, with e being the lowest and G being the highest. E, A, D, G. Those are perfect 4ths.
Nice that Sumina got that 30 minute practice session. Imagine if she practiced 40 hours a day? Thank you for sharing your day at Julliard.
Gotta say, I picked a day where I was not bunkered into a practice room for several hours a day đ Usually, more practice is involved!
@@SuminaStuder1 I love your rendition of the Paganini Caprice #5. It's my alarm clock song that I wake up to for work everyday.
So wonderfull se your little film about your life in school. Thank you for sharing this!
My own violin teacher was a student of Galamian at Juliard many years ago...
One day I hope to meet you! You are an amazing violinist!
Warm greetings from Sweden!
Good luck in the New Year!
Ah! Ling Ling?!
Ahh yes fellow 2 set fan đ
So y'all Juilliard students just get to have lunch with Sheku Kanneh Mason? Ya might as well invite Yo Yo Ma and Hillary Hahn while you're at it.
I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if they all know one another. I also wonder how they're allowed to attend a concert with their violin cases in tow.
Haha we had dinner! They are super down to earth - pretty awesome people.
@@SuminaStuder1 how much are your Skype lessons I need help picking out college repetoire
Itâs so fun when CZcams will recommend you things within something you have no clue about and you see random comments like that and you have no idea who the people are that people fawn over.
I came here after watching some tutorial on how to make a sand waterfall for aquariums. Not sure why CZcams wanted me to see this Julliard thing, but Iâm glad it was recommended to me because itâs a lovely video.
It seems cool, but not surprising. Even famous people are still people, some are cool, some are less so. Since they have to eat after a concert better to eat with other people who have the same interests (music). Most of the reason that they cannot hang out all the time with everyone who wants is because they are busy so they have to organize their time. It was cool to see Sheku Kanneh Masin getting to eat and have fun! mostly when I see video of him is is pretty focused, whether playing or preparing to play!
My mom auditioned for Julliard. Sadly she didn't make it in, but hey,she auditioned!!!!!:)
Atleast she tried. She can always try again.
She auditioned!!! Thatâs so cool lol. Auditioning for such a thing is cool either way! Iâd give is a shot in the future even know I definitely know I wouldnât get it lol
â€ïž
i just feel poor watching this instead of untalented ahhaah
Gia Le I feel poor and untalented
playing some musical instrument is not smth related to talent u have to work hard have good practice keep going . and of course good money
I feel both poor and untalented
@@fatimemehdiyeva2439 playing music doesn't require talent. Going to Juilliard requires it. All of it
Uh
We used those same text books when I was there in the 1980s. The building looks a lot nicer inside now, and that cafeteria is just amazing! I would love to see more shots of inside, especially the library. Thanks for doing this!
This was such a cute comment.
You're awesome, Steven.
I went to Q's around the corner from Julliard in the early 1980s we might have had lunch at the same places (the hamburger joint below the school was awesome), or if you were a degenerate, the OTB at 61st and Broadway.
When you watch these videos to live vicariously through the people who are talented enough to get into Julliard
... and also can afford the tuition and all the expenses of living in NYC
@@isostasique yep
Just here to learn thatâs all and have alittle fun.
Not the way to live through someone and that someone through another etc...
"2020, I'm ready for you. Please, I need a fresh start."
Oof, that didn't age well.
This is totally unrelated but I convinced my ex-girlfriend to buy a cello because she said it was a dream of her to learn how to play that instrument since she was a little girl, so I gave her a couple of lessons and she had potential, now that we broke up the cello is collecting dust in a random corner of her apartment, it breaks my heart and sometimes I feel the urge to buy it from her and give it to somebody who would appreciate it, it's not that it's an expensive cello it's like $1,500 but nevertheless it's meant to be played and taken care of like all musical instruments, so if you have an instrument just laying around dust it off and give it another try, or give it way to somebody who will love it, the world will be better because of it :)
I visited my coworker and his wife one day to play their baby a happy birthday song on my ukulele. We got to talking and he asked me if I would like his banjo. I had no idea they had a banjo because he never mentioned him attempting to play any instrument, but he had one in a case collecting dust in their walk in closet, and he just GAVE it to me. He told me all instruments should be appreciated and played by someone. Every instrument has potential and shouldn't be left to collect dust. I now play ukulele and banjo because of his special gift. I keep the banjo on a floor guitar stand right by my nightstand and play often. Forever grateful. I really hope that cello finds a good home.
Get the money backđđ
get that cello back and give it the love it deserves
@@_angry_chair_ I have been plotting on a way to buy it from her, we are still friends, on one hand I want for her to realize her childhood dream of playing the cello and on the other hand I want to buy it from her and give it away... next time I have $1,500 just laying around I will buy it statue for my yard, and then after that when I find another $1,500 laying around I will buy it from her :)
@@macumbeiro_xx sounds great :)
Sumina and Tiffany both went to Juiliard... it seems like the absolute place to be!
Yesss I love Tiffany poon!!
As well as That Viola Kid
Also don't forget Midori Goto, Perlman, Zukerman and other incredible musicians
Check out Alan Belkin
For classical? Juiliard. For Jazz? Berklee. Although Jazz is basically just modern classical, so... yeah.
we would like to see how they teach in Juilliard,
imad Abeidoh y u mad
orbit that made me lol
its basically the same as most other conservatoires that have minimal reputation at least
What they do is you work with a particular mentor then go with a conductor and perform for whatever it is
Ever seen whiplash?
Yay! I think I saw you in the elevator couple of weeks ago at Juilliard. Totally fanboi'd out. Hahahahaha.
Oh man! Please say hi next time! đ
I just discovered your channel, I follow Tiffany Poon. I am a piano evening division student at Juilliard and its its so nice to see clips of the school and practice rooms. I have some on my channel too along w bad practice videos of me, lol. Lovely video!
Liz S. Youâre a student at Julliard, there will be no such things as truly bad! Please be kind to yourself, and enjoy this experience!đ
If you can study slowly, you can study quickly!
âset !!!!
Dude performing in Carnegie is insane, I sang there with Eric Whitacre and it was an experience Iâll never forget
I performed there with a school choir. btw I'm singing Eric Whitacre in a middle school choir now and my choir director met him before :)
WOAH
dude my friend is in music school, and his teacher is friends with Eric Whitacre, I guess they met in college :)
E-Eric Whitacre-
Its so interesting to me to hear such a seasoned violinist who has competed at so many international competitions talk about that they're just now learning to play the Beethoven Violin Concerto. I was astonished when I heard L. Biatashvilli state she only learned the Tchaikovsky late in her career. I always have the misconception that prodigies pretty much can play almost anything from like 12.
I'm a 78 year old portrait artist but early on my third grade music teacher wanted me to take up violin but I stuck with art.I still love the violin.
you should do âpractice with meâ videos! that little clip was so interesting, especially seeing your thought process at the same time :)
iâm only a freshman in high school but i looked into Juilliard and I was born and Raised in New York, iâm looking forward to go to that school. (hopefully) iâm a clarinet player and unfortunately it will be hard because of how many clarinet players their are. but iâm hoping for the best!
Ńimply sarah itâs ok. I know it sucks to audition but if you are prepared you can focus on the music. The thing about nerves is they will make you sound 10 times worse on the day. You say youâre a freshman, pick audition rep now - donât play it too much, keep it fresh, but make an effort towards making your final product 10 times better than you think you can play it, 10 times more prepared, knowing every single note in your head, even the rests, to the point where you literally cannot mess it up. You will thank yourself.
hey i play clarinet too, currently a sophomore, (not to brag, but i have all-state in a month and iâm very excited) if you have plans for Juilliard, try your best to participate in as many opportunities as you can manage. i think i started doing too much, and then lost my passion just recently. so do a lot, but take breaks, and just appreciate the talent that you have. maybe you never asked for advice but i hope you donât mind my comment :)
Just do your best and Iâm sure youâll be accepted into Julliard. Also take some time to have fun. Life is too short to be freaking out about getting into one school.
Nice I can already image your a thousand times better the squidward
@@chloeshomo8141 ayye all-state clarinetist gang (in 8th grade though lol)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE more vlogs like thisđ
Is no one going to mention how pretty she isđ
Ikt
Don't worry, we see it.
More interested in her skill with violin, beauty fades, meanwhile Itzhak Perlman is still playing astoundingly well at 74 and I'm sure she will be too.
@@austinhaynes6420 Wise words.
Not me, FemiNAZ will immediately accuse me of sexism. On a second thought, I don't care, but her Beethoven Violin Concerto practice was abysmal.
Been there done that 1993-97 JUILLIARD SCHOOL Alumni, classical bassist. Greatest school of all time!! Thanks for sharing.
Hey Murat, Evan Solomon here! How are you?
Intelligent, talented, and beautiful.
OMG! I also had the luxury to see Sheku's performances as well last December at Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall on the 4th! That felt like such a long time ago. Go Juilliard! EVERY single person from Juilliard that I've met or come to contact with has been very down to earth, super talented and inspiring! peace and blessings!
Love the Bach chorales - we used to do them as harmonic dictation and/or chord analysis when I was studying in Hungary.
Iâm in the prep division at Juilliard and it still feels so surreal to see a video like this where I actually recognize the building and the people... especially that hunched over man who works at the cafeteria ;)
I always forget that even the talented people usually go to school. I guess you're gaining a lot from that to your skill set, compared to just having violin lessons and practicing.
This vlog was amazing. Hope to see more post like this. Thanks for share so many interesting details about your routine.
My dad auditioned for Juilliard for voice. Seeing this makes me sad knowing he missed out on such an amazing experience.
I just watched this and she said she was ready for 2020!!! đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Youâre living the dream đđ your videos are so inspiring!
That book of Bach chorals in all the different clefs brought back some painful memories from my time at Juilliard! (Play any 3, sing the 4th!!!) Glad to see students are still having to suffer this stuff!
Lol
Thank you Sumina for making this year better for me, you've inspired me a lot and I hope next year treats you just as kindly đ your music moves me in a way that I cant describe, it's like it's so human in the way you express your pieces? Theres more emotion than what I'm used to hearing.
Keep it up!!
I love finding different channels. Peoples lives are so interesting
What about your life
Gabby K. I donât plan on putting it on CZcams lol donât have the balls haha
@@AwesomeSauceToys21 hahaha well what I meant was don't you think your life is interesting too?
What a life âșïž
Also have you ever thought on doing a collab or duet for your CZcams audience with Tiffany Poon?
Byron Reveles Beethovenâs Kreutzer sonata (especially the 2nd movement) would be so lovelyâșïž
I like how many people on the internet hopped for a fresh start for 2020 and quarantine just kicked our asses.
I think you are an amazing violinist. Classical music is just exploding in Korea. As a Korean, I love classical music. đđđ
I visited Juilliard many years ago with a tour group. It is certainly very impressive.
Iâm sensing two set fans!
where has this channel been my whole life
Itâs great that you guys are studying Robert Starer. My professor for musicianship had me and my entire class try the rhythmic exercises he wrote and the du-de, du-da-di system. And your playing is beautiful. My advice is to try coordinating where in the violin you want your bow to be instead of having it in the same position. It will improve the quality of the timbre and get a richer sound. I saw a CZcams video of two professional violinists (their channel is TwoSetViolin) auditioning at Curtis Institute of Music and getting special lessons. I hope my advice was helpful and I wish you the best of luck on your musical journey.
The good thing about rhythmic and ear training is that it is going to improve your ability to see a piece of music and hear it in your head (rhythm, direction of melody,etc). that way your expectations of what it will sound like when you play it will be closer to reality and will facilitate better intonation and rhythm when you play. It is hard now because you are not as familiar, but it will serve you well later, so it is time well spent. Good for you for working hard on the things that aren't as fun; future you will thank you!
Thanks for this
Please!!!! More of these Vlogs!!!! They're amazing!!!!!!!!!
Ling Ling would be happy to hear you're neglecting your time with the violin đđđ
Sheâs just so cute OMG I canât đâ€ïž
I always dreamed about going to Julliard, but alas, no go. Nice video. One of my favorite musicians of all time studied at Julliard. Kip Winger of "Winger" fame.
Hello! Thank you for the video. I was so curious about Juilliard when I visited New York, but the public was not allowed to see the school. I am a violinist and teacher, so I loved seeing the books on rhythm and how they use the Bach Chorales. I might study these too!
oh my gosh when she said shes getting to see sheku my heart dropped! aughhhh one day đ
I saw someone else from the â80âs commented about the ear training books being the same. He also was impressed by the cafeteria. Our cafeteria had vending machines with cockroaches, nice step up! We had a terrible time finding practice rooms, I would just go down to the sub basement ( A level) and practice for hours. My dinners were often a âdogâ at âGreys Papayaâ! Still a blast! Nice vid!
Bruh the last time I saw her video was her Paganini video but Iâm happy she got into Juilliard !
OMG!!!
They still use the same rhythm book!
I used that book in 1984!!!
Your lob' is EVERYTHING
watching this in nov 2020 ... we were in a dream then or we are dreaming now
I love you Ms. Tsuder. God bless you there đ
The only complaint I have about Julliard was the lack of feeling part of a college community. I know it's a small performing arts school but still. Glad to see what it's actually like being a student there.
i get 1 hug every 8 yearsđ
its really cool how u posted ur thought process while practicing, i feel like i should start thinking the same way to make me a better musician
I'm curious what the placement rate is for graduates of The Julliard School. There are a ton of talented music students graduating from these types of schools each semester. But there are a very limited number of jobs out there. Perhaps a great portion of music students go into teaching?
Stumbled upon your video. Very cool! My son goes there as well. Sterling Elliott, cellist. He is a junior. Good luck to you!
So cool, Sumina! Congratulations on everything! I'm a big fan!
The only thing I can afford in this video is the Muji pen luls
Muji is a slag in Nepali đđđđ
@@jp-gi6jl it's a brand of Japanese products as well đ
@@joodee5813 It actually means as*hole and/or pub*c hair đ
@@jp-gi6jl I don't know what you mean... Words can mean multiple things?
I hope I see u again at juilliard. I love saying hi!!!
This was a lovely video. Thank you so much for the insightful glimpse at your life and at life at Juilliard. This was a great Christmas present for your fans.
Makes me wish I had kept working on violinđâ€ïž
The footage of midtown last December is more surreal than i thought it was going to be. Feels like a dream world đwe didnât know what we had!
Cool video, thanks for sharing! We'd love to see a video about your Strad! Cheers from a violin grad student in Newfoundland!
Ayyy at 1:55 in the background ray chens violin case there
How nice of you to make this video! Cherish your years at Juilliard.
I think it is possible for me to admire a person's talent and discipline while also being critical of how guileless, privileged and thirsty this video is.
Sitting waiting for an instruction video to upload from another computer to help one of my 6th grade students prepare for an audition for private lessons through a local conservatory. I happened on your video. Thank you for making my wait enjoyable, and you got to spend some time with Sheku!!!
Thank you for putting this together for us! Youâre very hard working and Iâm glad you featured some of the Mason family on here as well :) Merry Christmas!
I learned a new word: glissando. That's what the boogie woogie guys do on the piano that other videos show
Not only the "boogie woogie guys" use the glissando dumb ass
@@Lawyer_Morty He never said that only the boogie woogie guys use it. Also there's absolutely no need to insult him for what he said. Show a little respect.
@@Lawyer_Morty go to bed damn it !
@@gamma_dablam NEVER!!
@@LifeVision22 I can insult anyone I don't give a shit about respect!
Love the music selection. Lofi
who remembers juliard from high school musical 3
40 hours per day of practicing really helps
40 hours is not enough. donât be lazy
Ling Ling approved
Sumina!! Saudades de seus vĂdeos!!
Thanks for sharing You Day! You are a busy and talented Lady. Good Luck!
Thanks for sharing! always hear Julliard mentioned in movies. :)
Lovely. Charming friends. Great food. Promises of culture in the lifestyle to when strings break and beyond. And everything, even NYC, seems pristine. Hope you enjoyed the holidays.
CZcams just suggested this video to me and when I got to the end, "2020 I need a fresh start" made me sad knowing what 2020 had in store for this optimistic person.
this makes me wanna go there even more!!!!!!!!
better start practicing now
Thank you for making this video :) I appreciate :) I like to watch videos like this. Thank you :) I liked a particular progression of the piece you were playing on the violin: D5.Bb5: F4.D4: F4: Ab5| B5 (natural).Ab5: E4.D4: B4:Bb4| D5.Bb5: F4.D4: F4: Ab5| B5 (natural).Ab5: E4.D4: B4:A4| Sounds really nice! :) And you play really well!! :) Keep up the good work! :)
The same orchestra rehearsal hall!
We got to work with Leonard Bernstein when I was there.
yeah i remember working with Leony
I dreamt about going to Juilliard in my younger years but my life veered onto another path. đ»đčđ
I just loveee watching your videos Sumina! I used to play violin during my teenagers years and Iâm missing it now :(
Ps: whatâs the brand of your red lipstick at the end of your video?
Merry Christmas!! đ
Thank you for sharing you say at Juliaâs! I appreciated it especially because I may want to apply when Iâm older. Thx so much đ
Quick question: Does anyone know who made the modern instrument Simonâs played on before she was leant the Camilli?
Whenever Iâm in NYC I try to hit up the Juilliard book store. Sheet music, scores, supplies and t shirts at decent prices. After this vid, I might try the cafe.
Do you know tiffany poon? I think she goes to the same university. You two should definitely do something together!
To help with mental attitude: use "get to" instead of "have to" : )
It was really, really nice that explanation of your decision making during practice!
two set is every where
yeah xd
Your classes are very similar to ours!! Yaaay!! We often do the intonations of bach chorales in different turns of the four voices in class from first time sight readinf them.
7:55 I was waiting for you to play that part đ. You sound amazing!
i know watching this will only give me pain but i'm doing it anyway
Sheku and Isata are amazing, I listened to the concert on the radio đđœ
They are gold! And their personalities too!
please play the Mendelsohn violin concerto and the Sibelius violin concerto...thanks
