Mr. Belfiglio

I devoured violin books, happy to learn to read music and also play by ear under the tutelage of Mr. Belfiglio, a passionate Italian maestro who came once a week to our house to provide me with lessons. 

Within months I was invited to join the advanced district orchestra and moved my way up to first violin. The joy of the orchestral music, its harmony, its textures, its challenges, and also the fun with other serious music students and their instruments, drew me further into the love of music. 

Music programs in schools are vital. Check out MusicWorksAsheville for a highly successful, innovative new program.

Take note (sorry!) of the other benefits that this program has given the students. Did music make a difference in your life as a child? Share below.

Yes, music was wonderful as a child and has continued to be the rest of my life. I no longer can play well, but I am a wonderful listener.
