✨ From the VAULT!✨
Found this footage of 2024 graduates Anya and Stephanie playing the Doppler their senior year, and I’d almost forgotten just how well these two blended.
The best way I can describe them is “sound siblings.” Every player has their own voice of course, but after years of developing musically together within the same studio, there’s a certain shared language and set of musical characteristics in students’ playing—-the phrasing, color, and the way they listen and respond to each other are a few examples.
I love that this video begins with them laughing and also ends with them laughing! They genuinely enjoyed each other’s friendship just as much as they enjoyed making music together, and I think you can hear that pretty clearly here; pretty remarkable rapport.
Old videos like this are so valuable to me. I love that they have such fond memories from being a part of this studio. ❤️
