DRUG
DRUG TESTING IN HIGH SCHOOLS LAST YEAR ALL RIGHT. TURNING TO
A STORY OF A 13 YEAR OLD
VIOLINIST AND BLOGGER WHO IS
READY TO TAKE ON
THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE
ALREADY. YES SHE'S ONE OF THREE
CONTESTED QUALIFIED TO PLAY
WITH PLAY WITH RATE COMPETITION
IN L.A. HER COMPETENCE OR
COMPETITION. THE OTHER TWO A 17
YEAR OLD FROM FINLAND AND A 22
YEAR OLD FROM SOUTH KOREA.
THAT'S SOMEONE AN ANDRE
CASTELLANO CAUGHT UP WITH
THE YOUNGEST CONTEST'S TO SEE
EXACTLY HOW SHE'S PREPARING AND
WHAT PLAYING HER MUSIC IDOL
WOULD MEAN. GET READY FOR MOST
TEENS THESE DAYS. GOOD NEWS IS
SHARED IN THE REALM OF SOCIAL
MEDIA I HAVEN'T CHOSEN TO BE
PLAYING WITH MY COMPETITION
VIOLENCE AND I AM SO EXCITED.
THIRTEEN YEAR OLD ADRIANO BECK
IS NO DIFFERENT HER VIDEO
CONTEST ENTRY WHICH FEATURES
HER IDOL RAY CHEN IN EACH
CORNER RACKED UP OVER TWENTY
THREE THOUSAND HITS ON HER
YOUTUBE PAGE REACH. IT IS A
FANTASTIC VIOLINIST. HE'S ONE
OF THE BEST VIOLENCE IN
THE WORLD AND I REALLY LOOK UP
TO HIM TO GET TO SHARE
THE STAGE WITH HIM. SHE HAS TO
FACE SOME STEEP COMPETITION.
THE OTHER GIRLS FROM SOUTH
KOREA AND THEN THE SECOND GROUP
IS FROM FINLAND. AND I'M
THE ONLY GIRL FROM ANY
AMERICA'S SO THAT IS REALLY
COOL. SO NOW THE REAL WORK
BEGINS AS A SINGLE DETAIL
REALLY MATTERS. SO EVERYTHING
HAS BE PERFECTLY IN TUNE.
NOTHING CAN GO OUT OF TUNE.
EVERYTHING MUST BE PERFECTLY
CLEAN AND HAS TO SOUND AWESOME
WHILE OTHER KIDS ARE ENJOYING
THE SUMMER MONTHS OUTSIDE GOOD.
AND I'D LOVE TO DO THAT SECTION
AGAIN. ADRIANO IS WORKING
TIRELESSLY WITH HER INSTRUCTOR
TO PREPARE HER PIECE. THE BUCK
DEVIL JUST GETTING INTO
THE FINALS ITSELF. IT IS A WIN.
I FIND IT INSPIRING AS A
TEACHER TO WORK WITH A YOUNG
STUDENT LIKE ANDRE ON THE WHO
PUTS IN SO MUCH EFFORT INTO
THE VIOLIN AND AND WHO PUTS IN
SO MUCH PASSION AND ENTHUSIASM
INTO IT. ADRIAN HIS MOM KIRSTEN
FIRST NOTICED HER DAUGHTER'S
ENTHUSIASM WHEN SHE WAS JUST 2
YEARS OLD? IT'S LIKE THE VIOLIN
JUST BECAME LIKE PART GROWING
WITH HER INSTRUMENT AND
LEARNING THE POWER BEHIND
THE MUSIC. I REALLY LIKE HOW IT
CAN JUST LIKE BOLDLY GO
SOMEONE'S HEART AND JUST LIKE
PULL OUT EMOTIONS THAT ARE IN
THERE AND IT REALLY. MUSIC HAS
THE POWER TO CHANGE AND INSPIRE
JOY AND ACHING TO MAKE
STRANGERS OH HEARING ALL
THE HOURS OF PRACTICE BOTH IN
THE STUDIO AND AT HOME. KIRSTEN
KNOWS WHAT THE EXPERIENCE WOULD
MEAN TO HER DAUGHTER TO BE ABLE
TO PLAY WITH HIM I THINK WOULD
JUST BE NOT ONLY A MASSIVE
DREAM COME TRUE BUT ALSO JUST
SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE
REMAINING AS A MEMORY LIKE THIS
IS GOING TO INSPIRE ME FOR
THE REST OF MY LIFE. I THINK
IT'S JUST GOING TO BE SUPER FUN
AND I'M JUST FOCUSED ON REALLY
HAVING FUN AND MEANING TO SHARE
MY MUSIC WITH THE AUDIENCE. SO
VERY TALENTED. THE COMPETITION
WILL TAKE PLACE IN L.A. IS
FIRST COMING UP WEEK OF AUGUST
AND IF ADRIANO WINS SHE WOULD
NOT ONLY PLAY WITH RAY CHEN BUT
ALSO THE L.A. PHIL HARMONIC
WHICH WHAT 13 YEAR OLD GETS TO
DO THAT AND USING HE'S THE ONLY
ONE IN ALL OF THE AMERICAS THAT
IS ACTUALLY THAT'S AN ABLE 13
YEAR OLD AND SHE'S FROM SAN
ANTONIO WHICH IS EVEN BETTER
RIGHT. I IT'S INCREDIBLE TO SEE
AND I LOVE THAT YOU ASK THAT
QUESTION BECAUSE I ALWAYS
WONDER WHEN SOMEBODY HAS SUCH A
NATURAL TALENT LIKE THAT. WHEN
DID YOU FIRST SEE THAT MOM AND
SHE'S TWO YEARS OLD. HER MOM
SAID SHE TRIED TO PLAY
THE PIANO BUT HER HANDS WERE
TOO SMALL. SO THEN THEY MOVED
HER TO THE VIOLIN. THIS TINY
VIOLIN AND SHE REALLY TOOK TO
IT. SO SHE'S SO TALENTED AND
YOU GUYS CAN FOLLOW ALONG WITH
HER JOURNEY THIS WHOLE WEEK
THAT SHE'S IN L.A. SHE HAS A
VLOG ON YOUTUBE VIVIDLY VIOLIN
AND HER PERSONALITY IS BIGGER
THAN LIFE. YOU CAN JUST SEE IT
THE VIOLIN IS JUST SO WHEN IT'S
PLAYED WELL IT'S JUST SO. BUT
CAN YOU IMAGINE HONESTLY HOW IT
SOUNDED WHEN SHE WAS FIRST
PRACTICING. NOTHING MORE
IRRITATING. YOU KNOW HER MOM
SAID SHE HAD SOME ISSUES
SPEAKING BECAUSE THEY'RE A
BILINGUAL HOUSEHOLD SO SHE TOOK
TO MUSIC AND SHE SAID THAT'S
REALLY HOW HER HEART SPOKE IS
THAT IMAGE
