    You guys are so inspiring,

    You guys came too my school last year i think,

    and you guys were so amazing.

    I play violin also, and looking at you guys and thinking that you started out at the same place I did, is amazing, and it shows me that I can do anything if I love it, and I do love the violin.

    Keep inspiring young musicians,

    Rachel. :)

    Do a song/freestyle on a viola!! I would love to hear a badass C string solo!!! :D and You should do a remix of Bach's Prelude [even though that song was made for a cello...] I can almost play that song perfectly... :D I love Baroque music. I can't wait to hear more from you and see you in concert!
