Kids need to be structured in some way, but you don't want to force something down their throats that they have no interest in.

You only live once, so I try to say yes to everything.

What drew me to the violin was mastering the instrument technically, which I'm continuing to do.

There's nothing more frustrating than seeing a conductor say, 'Play softer,' as they're waving their hands in huge gestures.

Over the years, I've collected a lot of musical friends.

I like working with kids because I enjoy seeing the looks on their faces and, it's kind of selfish, I want a future audience.

No one tells you what to do if you completely flop at the beginning of a performance.
