Hi everyone. My name is Scott. I am 25 and I live in California. I am currently attending college for technical support. Technology and music are my two passions.

I have been "playing" the viola for a couple years now. I use the word play loosely because I haven't taken any lessons. I taught myself what I know (which isn't much) by reading and watching YouTube videos. To be honest, this probably has lead to some bad habits that I will need to correct but I tried my best to get the basics down. I also don't know how to read music so I play completely by ear. I have an electric viola but it still makes A LOT of acoustic sound. So much so that I had to buy a mute for it. It's nothing special and it doesn't sound the greatest but I got it for around $150 bucks off of eBay, haha. It's a starting instrument and I will definitely invest in something better in the future. 

I've had a passion for music for quite some time. I played the piano when I was younger but I gave it up because I didn't like it at all. It was after high-school that I discovered the beauty that is string instruments. I purchased a violin and started playing but I quickly realized that violins are too small for me. I have fairly large hands and my knuckles were hitting the pegs. I switched to a 16" viola which is the viola I mentioned previously.

I am constantly inspired to become a better violist and now I am really looking to take lessons. I'm the kind of person who solely listens to classical music. (Andre Rieu, Bond, Johann Strauss, John Williams, etc.) That's much I love it, lol.
