Presidential Part-Time Musicians: Violinists

Every now and then we discover a famous Part-Time Musician (PTM) and it’s always fun to share it. This time, our discussion takes us to the White House!

Our friends at Violinist.com posted this article about the three American Presidents (to date!) who have been violinists. While it’s impossible to lay all of the credit (or blame) for any of their accomplishments to their study of music, it does speak to the contribution that being a musician makes to a person’s drive and dedication to accomplishing their goals.

Our hats are off to Presidents Jefferson, Tyler, and Nixon for their pursuit of music and all the benefits it brings to those who play…not to mention those who listen.

Keep playing,
Mark
