Two days before one of the biggest competitions of her life... the neck of her violin fell completely off. 😳
We sat down with classically trained violinist Amy Fetherolf to talk about what it's really like to build a career as a professional musician — the years of practice, the perfectionism, the gig hustle, and yes, that unforgettable violin horror story.
She's performed as a soloist with orchestras across the U.S. and is heading to South Korea next. Her advice on practice, performance, and finding work as a classical musician is honest and genuinely useful whether you play an instrument or not.
