When I was 5 years old I got my first violin. Now I have a violin passed down from my great grandmother. Violins are important to me because they have been a big part of my life, showing my love for music. My violins show growth over the years in both skill and physical growth. Playing violin has shaped the way I learn and what I learn. Violin has made music an important part of my life. This violin is important to me because it’s a family item, it’s lived in my family for many generations. I have 2 violins, one is from my mom. The other violin is my mom’s from when she was my age. The violin I am showing you was my dad’s violin, he played it before he decided he liked band more. When his grandparents moved to Norway this violin was in the house they lived in. They then took it back to America with them. This is why this violin it’s important to me and my culture.
