Gino Pagnani

My mother was a violinist. She asked me when I was 7 or 8 years old if I wanted to take lessons. I said "no" and she never asked me again!

When I turned 50 years old she gave me her violin as a gift and told me not to just keep it in a closet. So I decided to take lessons. That was 10 years ago. I'm still a student and loving every minute of it.
