of music I have and the type of music I listen to depends on the type ofmood I'm in, so if it's night time and I want to relax, I listen to classical.

are you good at? Adrienne: Um, I don't know. Todd: You don't know?


3/7

Adrienne: I really don't know! Todd: Well, I was looking at your photos, and

you can play the violin. Adrienne: That's true! Todd: And you can sing very

well. Adrienne: Ah, I can sing some. Todd: OK, so, tell us about playing the

violin. Adrienne: I really enjoy playing the violin. I've been playing for many,

many years since I was a little girl and everyone in my family plays an

instrument so it's part of what we do together as a family. Todd: So when

you were little you practiced every day? Adrienne: I did. My mom made me.

I didn't have a choice. It's good for discipline though, or at least that's what

she told me. Todd: So, how would you practice? Did you have a tutor come

over to your house? Adrienne: No, I had a violin teacher once a week and

when I was really small I went to group lessons also, so it was once a week

with a private and once a week with a group. Todd: Wow! That's a lot. What

did you think about the violin when you were little? Adrienne: I don't

remember thinking about it. I don't even remember learning how to play. I

was only two so (so young) I know. I was still in diapers, but my mom saidthat when I had my first recital that I really wanted to play in the recital and

she said I absolutely could not play on stage in a diaper so that's basically

how she got me out of my diapers. So she says! Todd: When did you stop

playing? Adrienne: I haven't stopped. Todd: Oh, you still practice. Adrienne:

I still play although I don't have my violin here in Japan, right now. I'm kind

of on a break I guess. I just don't like to carry it around overseas. Todd: Is it

hard to be away from your violin? Adrienne: It is sometimes. I miss it. I miss

playing with my family too, cause we're kind of like the Van Trap family,which you know from the movie The Sound of Music. Todd: No, no, I don't.

I've never seen the movie. Adrienne: Oh, you haven't? The Sound of Music

is about a family in, I think it's Austria and they all play an instrument or sing

and it's a World War II movie and that's how they escape the Nazis, from

singing or something. It's kind of like that, except for without the war. Todd:

Well, I have to see the movie so! Adrienne: Yeah, you should. Todd: So are

you going to play the violin for me sometime? Adrienne: Sure! If you can

find a violin I will.
