Hey Viola! I'm Scott and I live with my wife and two dachshunds in Oregon. I discovered your "about me" story and was so excited to find that you're a violist! I'm not a musician, but classical music is a love of mine since I was about 10 years old. I wrote a piece here on Medium about my experiences with classical music. I especially like music from the Baroque and Classical era. Also some from Romantic era as well. Georg Phillip Telemann is my favorite composer.
It's awesome that you chose such an amazing sounding instrument to master. I love Viola music and also music of the Viola da Gamba. Maybe we can chat some time. Take care and I will check out your writing.
Stay well, Viola.
