I have been playing the violin since I was 10 years old. Initially, I hated practicing and it took many years for it to actually sound good. But I'm glad now that my parents made me stick through it! With my violin, I am able to provide joy to my residents. Through the years I have built up my music collection and have found lots of good free resources online. If you also play a musical instrument and can read sheet music these links below might be helpful for you!
