Emma

Musical Minuet

Music is very important to me. Ever since I started playing viola 4 years ago I’ve felt even it’s more important. An example is when I was 4 ½ I went to Kinder Konzert and decided I wanted to play cello. I told my parents but I was small and there wasn’t a cello that big. They suggested I play violin. My family went to who is now my teacher to meet her. She suggested I play viola because it is less popular. Soon after she started me out on a violin strung with viola strings. Music is amazing! It is JUST like learning a new language! But first you learn to read it, then you can play and understand it. This is important because music makes me happy and cheerful. In addition to that it makes others feel good too. Many people believe that music is just sound, but I disagree. Music is hard work, practicing, emotional, learning, sometimes difficult- but most importantly fun.

I am so glad you have such a passion for the viola. It reminds me of when I used to play the violin. I hope you are able to play forever and achieve all your goals! I like your essay and can tell how you feel about the viola from your expressive writing.
