Todd: OK, Adrienne, let's talk about abilities. What are you good at?


Adrienne: Um, I don't know.


Todd: You don't know?


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 1 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 2 how to play. I was only two so (so young) I know. I was still in diapers, but my mom said that when I had my first recital 3 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 4 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 5, 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.
