I play the violin. I try to walk three miles a day. I enjoy reading. I'm married. I have one daughter. I have two sons.
I visited the city. I am a piano teacher. I play the violin, guitar, drums and piano. Teaching music is my passion. My father was a professional violin player. I volunteer at a homeless shelter.
How was volunteering at the homeless shelter? Do you plan on learning any other instruments? It was good.  I feel like the time I put in there actually helps someone.  There are so many homeless people out there now that shelters like the one I volunteer at can use all the help they can get. Maybe when the kids get bigger they can help out. Right now they volunteer at the pet shelter, but that is just because pets are not as sketchy as some people are. I want them to be old enough to know basic self defense before letting them work with adults.  That is a good idea!  There are some people out there for sure that would hurt a child.  What about you?  Do you do any volunteer work? I help with the PTA and we do bake sales and food drives for the famililes in the school that need assistance and cannot get any. It isn't much, but last year we were able to help a single mother get new tires and a radiator with the funds we raised to help her be able to keep her job. It was a good feeling. That is really impressive!  Every bit of help anyone can do for another counts.  Have you been playing your violin lately? No, not today at least. I do like to play, but kids keep you busy. What about you? No violin lately. I've been busy with piano lessons.  You'd be surprised just how many people out there are wanting to learn to play now!  Oh no, I do know. My daughter wants to learn it, but every time we pay for lessons, she goes for a few of them and then just stops.  Really?  Why is that?  Is it that she doesn't like the piano or she isn't connecting with the teacher?   We have tried 3 different instructors and she is always excited the first day and then by the third or fourth lesson she says it is impossible to learn, her hands are too small and she can't stand anything. It is heartbreaking.  Oh no!  You tell her that that is not true! Her hands are not too small! She can definitely learn how to play.  Why don't you let me give it a try and see if I can get her interested in playing?
