We are excited to announce the winners of The ArtistWorks Classical Scholarship Competition!
Designed for aspiring classical musicians, each applicant submitted a video of themselves playing a piece from the designated repertoire for our classical music teachers to review. After the reviewing process, the judges each chose one student whose performance they felt merited the scholarship.
For Trumpet, David Bilger has selected Ryan C. For Clarinet, Ricardo Morales has selected Taylor M. For Flute, Jeffrey Khaner has selected Arnold P. For Violin, Nathan Cole has selected Paul H. Congratulations and job well done!
Each winner will receive a $ 1,000 cash prize to help them further their classical music education. Thanks go out to everyone who participated in this competition to help make it a success!
How to Choose a Violin for Beginners

It was the year 2004: I was 9 years old and my older sister was 13. We had both been playing piano for several years and now my sister wanted to try out the flute. I, being the stubborn little sister, also had to leave the music store with something of my own though of course. So I carefully inspected the store for something that resonated with me.
Spoiler alert - I play the violin to this day. So you can guess that I ended up going home with a violin that day ten years go. My grandfather bought me a half size violin for less than $100. The bow was so cheap they gave it away for free with the case.

This is the question Nathan Cole proposes in a new blog on Violinist.com, where he writes about his experience after watching famed violin soloist Joshua Bell rehearse with the LA Philharmonic recently. Read it here!
