PRESENTATION OUTLINE

MY GENIUS HOUR PITCH

BY KEVIN LU

MY TOPIC IS TO LEARN ANOTHER STRINGED INSTRUMENT,

AND TO BE MORE SPECIFIC, THE VIOLIN.

IT IS VERY COMMONLY SHOWN THAT MANY WHO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT OFTEN

HAVE THE THOUGHT OF TRYING OUT VARIOUS TYPES OF SIMILAR INSTRUMENTS.

MANY WHO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT OFTEN DISPLAY KEEN INTEREST

IN WANTING TO SWITCH OVER OR EVEN CHANGE THEIR MAIN INSTRUMENT.

MANY WHO QUESTION THE THOUGHT OF LEARNING MULTIPLE INSTRUMENTS

OFTEN WONDER IF IT WOULD EVEN BE BENEFICIAL FOR THEIR MAIN.

BACK IN THE 17TH AND 18TH CENTURY, PEOPLE WHO WERE MUSICIANS NOT ONLY KNEW

HOW TO PLAY THEIR MAIN INSTRUMENT, BUT BASICALLY THE ENTIRE ORCHESTRA.

MY ESSENTIAL QUESTION FOR THIS PROJECT: DOES LEARNING

ANOTHER INSTRUMENT HELP BENEFIT YOU IN YOUR MAIN INSTRUMENT?

WHY DO I WANT TO LEARN THIS?

I WAS ORIGINALLY SUPPOSE TO LEARN THE VIOLIN

AS MY MAIN INSTRUMENT AFTER LEARNING THE PIANO.

HOWEVER, THAT CHANGED WHEN I WAS CONVINCED BY MY PARENTS TO PURSUE

THE CELLO DUE TO COMPETITION AND THE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS FITTING FOR ME. 

EVEN THOUGH I LOVE TO PLAY THE CELLO,

I STILL HAVE A HUGE DESIRE IN ME TO GIVE THE VIOLIN A TRY.

WOULD BE LIKE COMPLETING THE LAST PUZZLE PIECE TO SOMETHING I DESIRE.

MY PASSION FOR MUSIC HAS MADE A HUGE IMPACT ON ME AND LEARNING THE VIOLIN

SECOND OF ALL, THE CELLO REQUIRES ME TO TO REACH UP TO A CLEF THAT IS THE

EXACT SAME CLEF AS THE VIOLIN, SO LEARNING IT WOULD GREATLY HELP ME.

THIRD OF ALL, I WANT TO FINALLY ANSWER A QUESTION FOR MANY OF MY PEERS WHO

WHO WANT TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO LEARNING ANOTHER INSTRUMENT, AND THAT IS...

IS IT WORTH LEARNING ANOTHER INSTRUMENT OR SWITCHING?

I CURRENTLY HAVE AN OLD VIOLIN FROM CHINA AT HOME.

RESOURCES: A VIOLIN AND SUZUKI BOOKS.

MY TARGET AUDIENCE IN THIS PROJECT WOULD MAINLY FOCUS ON THOSE WHO WANT TO

KNOW A MORE RANGED PERSPECTIVE IN MUSICAL EDUCATION.

LASTLY...

IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT THIS PROJECT,

I WILL NEED APPROVAL FROM MRS. KILLOUGH AND MRS. BAKER.

THANKS FOR WATCHING MY GENIUS HOUR PITCH,

AND I HOPE YOU APPROVE OF MY PASSION PROJECT!
