Stella, now in 4th grade, has an extraordinary passion for the violin. Her journey began when she followed her older brother to his violin lessons, watching with fascination. Inspired by the music, she eagerly picked up the violin herself in 2nd grade, and ever since, it has been a source of great joy and fulfillment for her.
During the pandemic, under the guidance of her violin teacher, Stella diligently participated in silent practice sessions via Zoom every morning and evening. This habit became deeply ingrained in her routine, and to this day, she starts each morning by picking up her violin as soon as she wakes up. Playing the violin is not just part of her schedule—it’s how she welcomes the day with passion and dedication.
For Stella, the violin is more than just an instrument; it is a source of happiness, self-expression, and personal growth. She genuinely enjoys every moment of practice and embraces the learning process with enthusiasm. As a mother, witnessing her child find such pure joy and fulfillment in music is incredibly heartwarming. Her dedication, love for music, and unwavering commitment make me so proud.
I hope Stella’s musical journey continues to inspire and bring joy to those around her. She has limitless potential, and I can’t wait to see where her passion for the violin takes her next!
