I love to play the violin, watching my bow dance across the strings as it creates a beautiful melody, sitting in the uncomfortable position that just wants to make me practice harder, and just focusing on the notes one at a time. I sit up and listen to how all four parts come together creating a great symphony. I here the metronome crash every beat gets louder I worry if i’m going to be able to keep up, it gets faster I keep strumming. The cellos play a solo as I take a deep breath getting ready for my turn. first measure, second measure, third measure, it goes by so quickly. I place my bow on the a string as my heart drops I play. The notes go by as I create a beautiful harmony. and that’s why I love the violin because it gives me the feeling of success, and confidence.
