I Grew Up In A Musical Family,

I Like Working With Kids Because I Enjoy Seeing The Looks On Their Faces And, It's Kind Of Selfish, I Want A Future Audience.

I Was Lucky Enough To Have Parents Who Started Me On Music Very Early, But Most Kids Don't Get That Kind Of Exposure.

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

I Think If There's Ever Been A Time We Need Music More, It's Now. For Our Kids, It Teaches You To Take Time, To Listen, To Work Together, To Listen To Other People, And To Use Your Brain. That's Why Classical Music Doesn't Work When You Throw It At People In A Subway Platform While They're Rushing To Work. Classical Music Is Something That Needs To Be Contemplated, You Have To Be Completely Present With An Active Mind That's Working. It's Not Background Music.

I Don't Listen To A Lot Of Music When I Have My Free Time. But I'll Go To A Jazz Club And Have A Drink And Listen To A Good Jazz Musician. Or Sometimes In The Morning, If I Want To Put Myself In A Good Mood, I'll Put On Some Latin Music.
