I liked getting enough exercise as a toddler and wanted to make sure I was amazing to others.  So, that's what I chose, gymnastics classes but not on a team so I could live a normal life and work on being cool.  I got to start at age 1 3/4.  The starting age can be anything,1 1/2 where I was in Southeastern Florida, in the county right above Miami.  My mom got me in ballet at 5 and I took it a little growing up, but I'm not good at memorizing steps.

​

So, none of the schools I went to had orchestra.  I wanted to play violin at 6.  I never got around to it.  I averted band because it didn't have violin.  I already was occupied and too young to worry.

​

A lot of people who do orchestra, or band, just seem lucky their school has it.  I took it as a group class as a music major in college my first year at 18.  I took lessons for 2 years from 3 different teachers.  I just took off to teach myself so I can polish my work and pace and accelerate myself.

​

My goal is to get good at it and my wish is to live in Germany and learn German and watch orchestra there and maybe be in one.  I don't like violin concertos, anyway.
