Steven Song, age 12
You might have heard the saying that everyone is talented,
everyone is creative, just not everyone is disciplined. Well, I must confirm
that in the music profession not everyone is talented, but definitely everyone
is disciplined. You practice hard to make up for lack of talent, and talent develops with practice. But if
someone is talented and disciplined, then he can reach a high level of music
making in a young age, and Steven Song is such a musician. Steven started
violin with me when he was 6 years old. This video was recorded at the final round of
Geneva Olympic Level competition. He was 12 years old at the time playing the 3rd movement of Wieniawski Violin Concerto No.2.
Steven is 15 now. He is studying with my old teacher Gerardo Ribeiro. He goes to the prestigious Meadowmount School of Music every summer where a minimum 5 hours of daily practice is required.
