Henry Miller is barely old enough to be in the youth symphony, but he earned the honor of sitting in the first violinist’s chair and serves in a leadership position with the organization.

The way Henry Miller tells it, when he started playing the violin at the age of 5, he spent a lot of time on the ground.

“My first lesson I was just rolling around on the floor,” he said. “I wasn’t a very good student.”

“My mom had to kind of make me practice,” he said.
