Gil Shaham, from Practice Room to Concert Hall
Today, we continue our series on how musicians practice. PT host Fred Child interviews violinist Gil Shaham, who describes himself as undisciplined about his daily practice routine. Somehow, the lack of discipline hasn't hampered Shaham, who remains one of the world's greatest violinists. He performs the Khachaturian Violin Concerto with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
