About This Blog

Hi,

I'm 9th grade student. One of my interests is playing music. The Music Box is a collection of my performances since I learned how to play violin in 4th grade. The contents will continue till I'm in 12th grade or maybe it will keep continuing as long as I have performances.

Enjoy!
