I started Playing Piano and reading music in Kindergarten. I played the recorder in 2nd grade. Played the Violin and the Clarinet in 3-5th grade. I played Piano until 7th grade. I stayed with the Violin from 3rd grade up though. I stoped playing Clarinet because my teacher at the time said I was spending too much time out of her class with Gifted, Violin AND Clarinet. So I had to pick one. I'm glad I stayed with Violin though. I got a great Stradivarious out of it, I was damn good(no modesty up in herre

) and I made all of the older advanced students jealous. The haters...

but I digress LOL!
I wanted to play viola and cello. I LOVE the way they sound...very deep, rich especially with a great virbrato on it. But I was section leader. I wasn't giving that up.
