I've played the piano since I was 6 (I'm 28 now) and picked up the violin and tin whistle at least 10 years ago.

My parents wanted me to learn an instrument and enrolled me in piano lessons. I hated it at the time. Now I love playing the piano, it's calming and gives me joy. I really enjoy playing by ear and making up my own songs, even though I was trained up to grade 8 in The Royal Conservatory of Music (Canada).

I took up violin and tin whistle because of my Celtic heritage and my love for that type of music. Nothing makes me misty eyed like good celtic music.
