Neither is a violin, or a typewriter, until you learn how to use it.

Well my dad forced me into playing the violin when I was about three and it all started from there. I went to Suzuki for violin lessons, and you learn to play by ear instead of reading music.

Tom Misch

My sparrow, she flickers and wakes and sings and sings.

Lisa Ann Sandell
