I started playing the violin at 5, and not long after, I figured out a lot of ways to avoid practicing: tantrums, intensionally breaking strings, or just moving my voilin around the room to look like I'd been practicing. 15 years later, I started to enjoy the thing.
I'm now at the ANU School of music, after a year at the Sydney Conservatorium. I'm in a bunch of bands around the place, but am always interested in more!
