That is amazing you are such a good violin player. The violin really is the undisputed leader of the orchestra. How did you get into playing?
My parents put me in violin lessons when I was 10 years old. I liked it very much and continued to practice into adulthood.
That is very helpful that you started as a child. Many studies say that musical training as a child positively impacts the memory and attention span, as well as improving reading skills, language processing and speech. 
I definitely think that my musical training has helped me in those areas, as well as in my confidence and social skills.
I can see that, many people say it can build self-reliance, self-esteem and self-awareness. Also, you got to become confident enough to play in front of others! Do you enjoy playing it as much in university as you did as a child?
Yes, I still enjoy it very much. Although, playing in university is much more stressful than playing as a kid. The schedule is busy and there is a lot of pressure to perform perfectly.
Yes, I can imagine that. Do you have a favorite composer or piece to play?
I am a big fan of Niccolo Paganini. He was an Italian musician, composer, and violin virtuoso. I enjoy his piece "24 Caprices for Solo Violin Op.1" the most.
Ah, yes! He had quite a life. Have you ever read about his biography? I remember he debut his playing at only 9 years old, but also later became quite controversial as a womanizer and gambler!
His life was certainly filled with controversy, rumors, and adventure. But, I suppose many great artists are the subjects of controversy.
