MUSIC AS AN ART AND VIOLINS AS PASSION

Music is a universal language as it has no boundaries & limits. For a long time now,

music has been acknowledged for its healing powers & a general state of uplift it
provides to the mind. Since the very beginning of human evolution, as soon as people
began developing civilizations, they are thought to have been enjoying music. Along

with advancement in the technology even the musical instruments kept evolving and
advancing.

Today music has more admirers than ever before &the humongous music industry

worldwide is a living proof of it. Now a days people have their smartphones filled
with favourite genre. The digitization of music has made it even more desirable &

easy to access than ever before. It has truly revolutionized the way people listen to
music.

However as much as we love & admire our digital music collection, there is no

denying that physical musical instruments have not lost their charm. They still are
very much relevant & always will be as they serve as the base of musical education.
Violins have been an inseparable part of classical orchestra setup since ages & there is

no denial that they look & feel as some of the most glamorous and stunningly
beautiful piece of wood in the world! One can never imagine a classical orchestra
without violins. They can be considered as the soul of every orchestra.

The amount of craftsmanship that goes into making these is just phenomenal. Only
the professionals & the experienced artisans can make one. It does not matter if a

person does not know how to play a violin, yet a person can decorate a place by a
violin as beautiful piece of art for display.

“Music is the great uniter. An incredible force, something that people who

differ on everything & anything else can have it in common.
“Playing a violin is a physical art with great traditions behind it!”
