About Charlie

My name is Charles, but everyone calls me Charlie. I started playing violin on my fourth birthday and love it.

I love making music with my violin and never want to give it up. I really liked playing at Disneyland in November and want to play there again next year. My grandma and I played all of the holiday songs together on Christmas for my family. My grandma played the harmony, but I like learning harmony parts. My grandma let me play Jingle Bells on the stage at Walt Disney Concert Hall in between concerts in December. It was fun. I want to be in an orchestra when I grow up.

I played in my school’s talent show. My act was one of 24 chosen from 48 acts. I played duets on the violin.

I passed my Certificate of Merit, level 1.

My great grandmother (Grammy) passed away in January. I played “Ode to Joy” at her memorial service. I will never stop playing the violin because it always reminds me of Grammy, and she always loved me playing the violin.

I take my violin to school all the time to play for my classmates. We had a field trip to the farm last month so I took the violin to school to play “Happy Farmer” for everyone.

Hobbies
