Congratulations to our graduating senior, Neel Dums
Congratulations to our graduating senior, Neel Dums! NorthWoods Strings commends Neel for 12 years of exceptional dedication to practice and artistic excellence. How did you become interested in the violin? I first became interested in playing the violin when my music teacher at HACIL brought in a violin to do a demonstration. Also, one of my friends played the violin with Northwoods Strings, which was another reason that I wanted to start. What are you currently doing with your music? Recently I have enjoyed working on some hard pieces, and over the years I have enjoyed playing the violin every day and learning new and more challenging music. I have also been enjoying reviewing past pieces to prepare for my Senior Violin Recital. What advice would you give to students? Try to practice every day and focus on the details, while at the same time having fun making music! Also, as my first teacher Mr. Kevin always said, "Practice slowly, learn quickly." Thank you, Neel! We have had such great experiences playing music together and very much look forward to seeing the next step of your journey!
