Listening to her talk is almost as enjoyable as listening to her play the violin.

[@Elainelps0421]

She speaks clearly...she makes sense.....her sentences are clear and concise...I wish all video masterclass violin teachers could be the same. Most of them time, they ramble on and on making their point (if they ever get that far) in way too many words, and therefore, it loses its impact on the intended student.

[@nickyork8901]

If I wasn't watching I would not be able to tell when she changes bow...fantastic technique (and so musical too).

[@metalheadlass]

LOVE the tone of her violin!!!!!!!! What kind is it, I wonder...

[@KTOWNK1D]

This masterclass is very helpful. I'm not planning on auditioning for the YTSO, but I've always had trouble with my trills in Mozart No. 5. It was nice to listen to a clear performance of that particular part. Thank you so much!

[@KC9KEP]

This woman's talent is absolutely astounding! Remarkable! Thank you for sharing ..

[@arielsonnenberg]

In what way exactly?

[@snootzie78]

beautiful and expressive playing--thank you for the master class

[@thelambofchaos]

Maxine, wonderful masterclass!

[@creativemachine]

Watched you play the other night on the Facebook Live Feed. You're unbelievably good.

[@vln111]

@TomQuags93 I usually use a menuhin swivel chinrest (it's no longer made) and it's on the violin I usually play in the LSO. This violin chin rest came with the violin, might be a Hill..

[@douskara]

Dear Mrs. Kwok Adams would you be kind enough to share with us the make of instrument you use? Maker, date etc. You produce a very beautiful sound!

[@cherrymanproductions]

I'm currently playing Mozart Concerto No. 5, Suzuki Book 9

[@adorakraynik2943]

I remember playing this last year (9th grade) for my state solo contest. :D I had to play all 3 movements (I got a gold)

[@J1Bigtime]

lol I'm renowned for my mega-sound when there are forte pizzicato chords and I use that same technique

[@nss21heath]

what a sound!

[@vln111]

@raptors10able not for a long time!! First played it when I was 11 :-)

[@XEA6L]

[@raptors10able]

[@vln111]

[@gagawolala]

I like your UK accent.

[@jehovahuponyou]

I CAN PLAY 'COTTONED MOUTH JOE' AND TURKEY IN THE RICE' - WHAT ARE MY CHANCES OF GETTING INTO THE LSO?

[@JustineBieberxoxo]

With this video I had trouble focusing on the music instead of the player. Must be the musical tale of me and raging hormones.

[@garay57]

@papaburger yeah but the ring is in the middle maybe she is single because when your married is the 2 find from the smallest one

[@raptors10able]

can you play the czardas

[@TomQuags93]

does anyone know what chinrest she uses?

[@ManBoobie123]

And you?

[@winrx]

Is that a Brooklyn accent I detect there?

[@TheVampireOfGaming]

[@ACherryBlossomGirl]

[@tomnottim]

@winrx Please tell me that's a joke.

[@ayanemegami]

[@prdeoha]

[@CTA12356]

most auditions are done behind a screen, so what you look like doesnt matter. You'd know this if you were at any sort of decent level

[@arielsonnenberg]

Not in England they're not.

[@gimaru1]

crotchet? what is that? did she mean cockroach?

[@arminthomas375]

[@stevenXCV]

Pretty lady with a violin

[@jehovahuponyou]

@johnwilliamsfan786 - IT SEEMS YOU OFFER ME VERY LITTLE HOPE, BUT AT LEAST YOU ARE VERY HONEST. :^)

[@epsilonreo1852]

[@jehovahuponyou]

@vln111 - I FEAR I AM FAR BEYOND HELP! :^)

[@CarlitosDessay]

[@Mcrxwolf]

[@ManBoobie123]

Can you leave?

[@dsdfsdfdsfsdfds3800]

she is so pretty. btw master classes are really bullshit. As a violinist Do you really need her explanations?

[@vln111]

tononi

[@papaburger]

@XEA6L her left hand has a ring . Maybe she is married .

[@XEA6L]

[@gimaru1]

Bad articulation, in the Allegro part, amateur like, no energy..

[@macintosh315]

Let's see, who should I trust more on this issue? 1st violinist with the London Symphony Orchestra, or "gimaru1"? With comments like that, I'de be impressed if you could get anywhere in the arts - or any profession for that matter.

[@gimaru1]

you don't have to trust anyone, I made an observation based on my knowledge. You first need to learn to trust yourself as you grow up

[@DHRDM]

gimaru1 HAHA everybody has his own talent... you don´t have to be comparing with others... just focus on yourself and try to be the best you can and don´t critisize others!

[@kerri4930]

DHRDM That's not funny. Why did you start by pelting out a HAHA?

[@TracMcNguyen]

Maybe she was just demonstrating the phrasing, like she said, rather than articulation.

[@MrSEOKYOUN]

[@VincentRubinetti]

Maxine, are you married? do you have a boyfriend? =(

[@CaraBrimleyRules]

I tell you one thing though, I wouldn't go to an audition covered in slap like that... what a mess!!

[@hectorberlioz9569]

The mediocre way she's playing the Mozart ,she will not be accepted in the best dutch orchestras. Surely not in the Concertgebouw....

[@gafhadly4616]

meow - upload yours.

[@markjbd]

ok there, "Ben"

[@CaraBrimleyRules]

I'm saying she is wearing far too much make up. What a trollop!! Do you need a translation, LOL!

[@luke1835]

You're gross

[@CaraBrimleyRules]

I know all that, you dolt! She's not doing an audition is she? She's presenting a violin vid for you tube, not working in a brothel. It looks really awful.

[@nss21heath]

what a sound!

[@musica201196]

very good

[@nss21heath]
