I Grew Up In A Musical Family,

I Don't Sleep With A Violin In My Bed, But There Is Something Very Magical About The Instrument. You Open Up The Case; It's A Masterpiece, It's Gorgeous, The Varnish Is Still There From 300 Years Ago. People Who Know Violins, They Look At It And It's Almost Like A Face.

I Always Find It Funny When People Say, "i Don't Really Like Classical Music" Or "it Doesn't Do Anything For Me." I Tell Them, "well, You Know, It Does. You Go To Films And You're Responding To It, And You've Heard It..." It's Controlling You! So Don't Think You're Not Being Affected. It's A Great Medium For Music.

I Write Arrangements. Im Sort Of A Wannabe Composer.

What Drew Me To The Violin Was Mastering The Instrument Technically, Which I'm Continuing To Do.

I Open Up My Violin Case Every Day, And Have One Of The Great Creations. It Is Very Inspiring. It Makes You Want To Practice. How Can You Open Up A Case And Look At A Violin That Was Made In 1713 By One Of The Greatest Artists In History And Then Say, "no, I Don't Feel Like Practicing Today."
