RISHAAN - just trying out a violin
We took Rishaan to try a few violins because he is moving up to full-size this year! It was really beautiful to see him pick up the violins and just start playing some pieces (all from memory). He wasn't expected to do this, so it was even more impressive of how he was able to play - on the spot. Johnny... look out, Rishaan is becoming - Rishaan On The Spot!
