First and foremost, playing the violin stimulates your brain in extraordinary ways, improving memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills. It requires precise finger movements, coordination between both hands, and a keen ear for pitch, cultivating a high level of dexterity and motor skills. As you progress, you'll also develop a deep sense of discipline and perseverance, as mastering the violin takes time and practice. On top of these cognitive benefits, playing the violin allows you to express your emotions and unleash your creativity.

Banjo
The banjo is a unique and captivating musical instrument with a rich history. Its origins can be traced back to West Africa, where instruments like the akonting and ngoni served as early predecessors. These instruments eventually found their way to the United States, where African-Americans infused their own musical traditions with European influences. The modern banjo we know today evolved from these cultural exchanges and gained popularity during the 19th century. Initially associated with African-American folk music, the banjo's distinct twang and rhythmic qualities soon found a place in various genres, including jazz, bluegrass, and country music. Over the years, the banjo has continued to evolve, attracting players from all walks of life and contributing to the diverse musical landscape we enjoy today.
Cello/Bass
The cello is even deeper, richer, and warmer than the viola. This is like the tenor voice of a choir. It's very large, and is played seated with it held upright with the bottom resting on the floor. They make child sized cellos for young beginnings to use. Double Bass is the largest, lowest string instrument. This is usually played standing. Students typically begin on cello before transitioning to double bass. This instrument plays the cool walking bass part in a jazz ensemble.
