Violin v Music

I started playing the violin when I was 7 years old.. soon going through the grades and at 13 yrs old I was the one and only person to get 21 out of 21 in my scales and arp’s at grade 5 and 139 out of 150 in total. Came 3rd in the country…. I played a duet of Vivaldi’s four Seasons in front of the BBC news reader John Humphries and many guests. When I was 15 all changed… I lost my teacher because he decided to move up north to Manchester, that was the steady down hill road… Eventually gave up after my 16th birthday having only grade 7 and 8 to do… I am now kicking myself…..

Violin v Music belongs to the following groups:

Light and Reflection, United Kingdom, We Rock: Musical Instrument Art and West Midlands UK

    Lucinda, I recently picked the violin again and plyed it again..A lot of practice again needed to get back into it… yep electric one would be good… maybe if I win the lottery I’ll get one..
