Learning to play the violin has many benefits beyond just learning to read music. A violin can help "fine-tune" motor skills, and give students the opportunity to engage in more creative experiences, which most of the children that I work with don't always have due to the costs these can bring. Students will use the violins at home and students will be engaging in learning how to play the instrument virtually by engaging in google hangout sessions with me. As a child, I was able to learn to play the violin and this did wonders for my self- esteem, and confidence in the classroom. I would love to give the gift of music to my students, by teaching them how to play the violin. The purpose of this project is to begin my journey in bringing the joy of music to our school.
