Black Violin, Breaking Your Musical Stereotypes

[Jimi Swagger]

I remember practicing Peanut Butter Sandwich on violin during music class grade school. These guys made me wish I would have stuck with it instead of moving to woodwinds. More black parents should get their kids involved in orchestra. Makes them better mathematicians and more creative people in general. You can also tell producers who played instruments instead of those who just tinkered with software all their lives.

Unfortunately, none. My nephews play the violin and the guitar tho.

Good topic. Black people have a long history of playing the violin (fiddle) and banjo.

Why them Devils eradicated music programs/instruments out of our schools too
