ABOUT

I have played violin since the age of 7. I was classically trained and played with different symphony orchestras and some solo work as well. I even had the chance to play the "Firebird" Stradivarius. The violin has been my main instrument and love in the music world. While serving in the Army, I injured my shoulder and am no longer able to play the violin for long periods. :( So, I picked up a mandolin. I am working hard on catching up my right hand to my left hand. heh Most recently, after moving and not having access to any of my instruments, I got a guitar and have been working hard on learning the fretboard. I'm still definitely a noob, but am having fun.
