I began violin lessons at a Suzuki school at age three, and continued my Suzuki studies through Book 7 and age 13, at which point I moved on to standard violin performance repertoire.

Plan Toys also nurtures novice musicians with a starter baby drum or a more advanced drum set made from natural rubber wood and non-toxic paints.... |
