Man joined Violinist.com on Jun 28, 2006

Am a software engineer and parent of grade school kids who (all 3 of us) started learning the violin in 2006 through a new local Suzuki program at the Brooklyn/Queens Conservatory. Always wanted to learn to play an instrument like the violin -- and love the sound of the violin family instruments in general. Love classical music, a little jazz and various other kinds of music.

Started out on a Martello beginner's violin from The String House of Rochester, NY. Currently using a 1910(?) John Juzek violin -- and also dabbling w/ a 16" 1948 Juzek Master Art viola.

Would love to join an amateur string quartet or moderately larger chamber ensemble at some point when I'm ready for that.

Other interests: photography, the cinema, art in general, baseball(!), ..., and all sorts of things that I can tinker w/ and/or observe/study and wax philosophical... ;-)

Personal quote: "Just another amateur learning to paint w/ 'the light of the world'." (John 8:12)
