I played violin these past 5 years at the conservatory, and 1 year in philharmonic orchestra, but quited this year because of time (I spent more time on my computer after work, damn it !), and because I don't like other people earing what I'm playing/training ... it can be annoying to listen repeatedly to the same tune.
And also, because my teachers always preached for classical music (mozart, bach and all these people) and got predetermined ideas over the music I love :
game, anime, movie OST, even if it's orchestrated ... it's not good because it has "video game" in the name so it's sure a 8bit sound ! ahh so laaaaame ! only mozart is a real composer !
I really hate classical period
I didn't care learning classic, but they didn't care listening what I liked in return.
Anyway, my main teacher still tried ^^
My first year exam was
B.T. (from Hack//Sign OST) (not me on this video), I played it with a piano professor. (I should replay it, now I've improved !)
I got only 1 (good) comment over the full judges and other professors, all the others seemed unpleased (sure, it wasn't mozart ! grrr I hate that guy XD).
Later, I tried with Bleach's
Never meant to belong (not me either), but it was too hard after only 3 years of violin.
So I never bring the teacher another music I like.
But it's sooooo damn difficult to find violin score on Internet
All is done for Piano, or Arranged for piano, no real violin parts
