fiddler in the basement


A couple of quick links to see Calvin over the last three years on the violin.

When Calvin first began taking lessons in Columbus, he had a cardboard violin he named "Plurt" that helped him learn how to position. He loved lessons with Miss Alie.



His first real violin, "Optimus Prime," got him through his first recital. Even while easily being the youngest in the program, he ate up the spotlight.



Now that vintage is cool again, his trusty transformer was exchanged for a larger model -- "Mario" -- complete with a red bow, which adds greatly to Calvin's street cred.

As a long time violinist I am extremely impressed! Impressed with the stage, the pianist, and especially Calvin!
