My favorite violinist is Niccolo Paganini.
Wow that is amazing you have been playing violin for 10 years. I have not heard of Niccolo Paganini before. 
He is very inspirational to me. He is one of the most celebrated artists of classical music.
I can imagine him being an Italian composer would be very inspirational. Do you have any other composers you enjoy as well?
I do not have any favorite composers in particular. However, the violinist Sarah Chang is incredibly talented and dedicated to her craft. She is the best living violinist, in my opinion,
I have not heard of Sarah Chang before either. Wow she does sound like she would be incredible to listen to. Have you ever performed before?  
Yes, I have performed before. I was accepted into college on a musical scholarship for violin. That required many performances to fulfil. 
Oh wow that is truly incredible. Sounds amazing.
It was a fantastic opportunity, I really enjoyed my time playing violin in college. I was not good enough to do so professionally, but would have enjoyed that.
That is great you given such a fantastic opportunity to be able to play violin..
