Review of Bryson Andres and his Violin

Bryson Andres began playing the violin on a whim in 6th grade to try to impress a girl in his class. From there he has gone on to perform at concerts and competitions. Today, seven years later, he is impressing everybody with his music. He’s become something of a celebrity in Alaska and plans on moving to California or New York to expand his career as a musician.
I found this to be such a wonderfully unique and inspiring story, full of lucky coincidences and great people. But there were a few things I thought could have been improved, the biggest thing being the interview. In both edited material and volume, it sounded a little choppy, and some parts unnecessary or repetitive. One last thing I would have really liked to have heard was some of his own music.
Overall, I thought this was a humorous, well made piece and an inspiring story.

The violin

This piece got my attention because Bryson Andres’s story is “humorous” yet intriguing. He seems to be pretty dedicated since he stayed in the orchestra class even after the girl left. Another reason why I really liked this piece is because I can personally relate to his story. What makes his great story even greater is the background music that shows how he plays. Tiana Johnson does a great job interviewing this great musician.
