Join student violist Drew Alexander Forde, who aspires to become "the Neil Degrasse Tyson of classical music," on a typical day at Juilliard, from breakfast through classes, rehearsals, and performances.

Hey guys!!!! I'm incredibly excited to announce that I'm running a Patreon Campaign and I've created specific, exclusive perks for you guys here on Instagram!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is Patreon? Well, it is essentially an online tip jar!Patreon is a platform that connects artists with their audiences. It enables audiences to support the artists they love! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why am I using Patreon? Well, I shoot, edit, write, produce, and publish 100% of the content that you see here every day (except for some awesome shots by even awesome-er photographers)! Bottom line, Patreon is helping me keep a roof over my head and food on the table. ☺️ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What's in it for you? Well, for the cost of a Starbucks coffee every month, you can have access to my Patron-only stream, your questions will have priority in AskTVKs on Instagram AND YouTube, you'll get a follow from yours truly, AND you'll have access to Mp3s of my covers and discounts on future album releases!! That's quiet the bargain, no? 😱🤗 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To find out more information on these and even COOLER perks, tap the link in my bio! Seriously, even if you can't afford higher tiers, $1/month can significantly change my life. I hope you'll consider becoming a patron today 😍🙏🏽 #PlayHomiePlay

It's absolutely okay to take time to breathe. If you're burned out or hurting, it's important to stop, take a deep breath, and shamelessly rest. After all, you're only human. 😋 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 📸PC: @bwhli

When I was going through school, I had a lot of adults telling me that "sometimes the road to success has curves." I knew what that meant at face value, but I TRULY didn't understand the depth of that statement until recently. 🤔 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You see, when the adults were talking about "curves," they weren't just talking about obstacles and setbacks. They were also talking about the literal road disappearing over the horizon, sometimes leaving you with no idea where to go next. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My road disappeared after graduating Juilliard. I didn't know where to go, or what exactly to do with my life. The only thing I knew was that I had to do SOMETHING. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So, I began making things. I was really bad at first...Like cringy bad 🤣 But I didn't stop. Every time I made something new, I just tried to make it 1% better. After repeating that process over the past year, my stuff is still kinda bad, but it's SIGNIFICANTLY less bad lol 🤗😂 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My point is this guys: when the road disappears, don't stop. Take a courageous step towards what you want, fail miserably, and try again. Then one day, if you keep creating, those failures might turn into successes. ✌🏽#PS #IStillDontKnowWhatImDoing
