Ep.117 Keep Your Tie, I Prefer My Bow (Selina - Violinist)

(Selina - Violinist)   In this episode, I had the honour to have Selina as my guest. She shared with me her interest in being a violinist as her hobby.   Instruments have the ability to create a mood for any kind of situation. Happy moment? Instruments have a sound for that! Sad moment? Instruments have a sound for that! Neutral moment? Of course, there are instruments that have a sound for that! I don't know about you but out of all the instruments, the violin is for sure my favorite, and Selina was generous enough to share why she enjoys playing the violin. The cool part is that she enjoys doing songs that don't have originally a violin in them and she adds her own personality with it.   Selina's link:  Twitter: @FairySexMutha Instagram: @selina.jsmith Youtube: Fairy Sex Mutha   Time For Your Hobby links: Website: Time For Your Hobby website (click to find Apple, Spotify, Google and more) Merch: TFYHpodcast  Instagram: @timeforyourhobby Twitter: @tfyhpodcast Podchaser: Time For Your Hobby  Patreon: Timeforyourhobby  Email: timeforyourhobby@gmail.com     If you like this episode and think it can be helpful to someone you are more than welcome to share it and leave a review.
