I am a self artist and writer. I am a published author. So here is my story. I had a lot of cerebral vascular accidents in 2023. So I picked up the violin in February of 2024 and played it pretty well so I found an app and continued. Then I wrote a song and started playing my own music along with others. I advanced quickly so my husband and I decided to go to the store and look for a better violin. So we got there and I was playing one of my songs. Within minutes of playing the music teacher walks out and listens and tells my husband to get his number from checkout. Which he did not, but we went back and I met the music teacher. He has been my teacher since June or July of 2024 with two classes a month. Now I have written a few songs and will continue. I have completely surprised myself and others.

I have only played in front of a couple of people. Music teacher and family.
