When I was younger, I absolutely fell in love with playing the violin. Now that I'm older, I realize that there isn't anything like the experience of learning to and playing a musical instrument. I wish I would have been introduced sooner!

I stumbled upon the violin while in middle school and wish I had discovered it sooner. I have always wished that I was one of those kids that had piano lessons — I never understood why my friends hated it. If you're looking to introduce your children to music a little early, try one of these handmade musical instruments from Etsy.
