I’ve been playing violin since the age of 8, and I’m now 19 pursuing music as a professional career, currently attending a conservatoire.

Music has always been a longtime passion of mine (I dwaddled on the piano, guitar, and cello through school and other groups before starting violin), and even now I’m still extremely keen to learn new instruments. I also frequently compose music having just finished my first symphony on top of making other standalone pieces, ranging from small ensemble to full orchestra, my point being that music is a big part of my everyday life and I genuinely don’t know what I would do without it. I love that I’m being able to continue my passion for music by being at a conservatoire, as well as playing in different orchestras, however I may struggle to continue in the future if I have to constantly keep searching to borrow violins.

I’ve never owned my own violin and am currently being lent one as a favour. I feel like it would be beneficial for me to have my own violin for the foreseeable future, hence this fundraiser! No amount is too small and I would be extremely thankful for anything donated :)
