I play the viola. I've been playing the violin for years, and after a while I thought it was time for change and that's how I got to the viola. It's really been a great step. The viola fits me better and I've made gret improvement over the last few years. The orchestra I was talking about is a national orchestra for young people up to the age of 23(?not 100% sure). Every once in a while the whole orchestra comes to gether for a long weekend and than they go study a few pieces of music. It's a quite professional level. You start really early in the morning and you play the whole day and then you're lucky to get 4 hours of sleep. And after such a weekend the orchestra gives a concert. These concerts aren't neccesarily in the Netherlands. The orchestra plays all around europe. And every summer the orchestra goes on a tour. There's always a shortage of good viola's and that's why people asked me to go in the orchestra. Ofcoarse I'd love to do that, but the concerts and study-weekends are always nery close to my exams or even at the same time. And if I don't have exams I have to go to colleges to find out if they have the right study for me for next year. So the big problem is lack of time. Maybe next school year... I'm already in another orchestra right now, but I'm getting a bit to old and good for it. At the moment I usually feel like the only one who can play all the notes flawwless and I usually have to help the younger people. I'd love to sit in the front row and lead the viola's, but I seem to be to good at helping the younger ones. I now usually hope that one of the 2 people in front of me can't come, so I'll get to lead the viola's. That's much more fun. The people in the front row play just as good as me and sometimes better. That way you can push each other to play even better and I love that. And then ofcoarse one of the to on the front row is this really cool girl... :)
