WITH NICKY | Violinist Nicola Benedetti – No. 8 ‘Inspiration’ [ADVICE]

This, the eighth in the ‘With Nicky’ series, violin virtuoso Nicola Benedetti talks us through 'inspiration' ... and 'motivation'

This, the eighth in the ‘With Nicky’ series, violin virtuoso Nicola Benedetti talks us through 'inspiration' ... and 'motivation'.

"Growing up, two of my dad’s favorite words were ‘motivation’ and ‘inspiration’ ... when my sister and I were little that basically went right over our heads, but given time and hours and hours of necessary practice, those two words come in really handy ..." the Scottish-born soloist has said.

"For me this sometimes involves taking a step back from the endless repetition of practicing and looking at what can inspire us to channel more feeling, energy and commitment into our playing,” she has said.

As an official media partner, The Violin Channel will be publishing a new video in the With Nicky series each Tuesday.
