A truly inspiring story about world class violinist Clayton Haslop's struggle with Focal Dystonia, leaving him with the use of only 2 fingers on his left hand. Clayton was student of legendary violinist, Nathan Milstein. Clayton was concertmaster in the recording studios of Los Angeles for some of the top composers in the industry, including James Horner and Michael Giacchino, you have heard his violin solos on many movies, including "Ratatouille" and "Up" among others. Most violinists would call it quits after loosing the use of two of their fingers on their left hand, but Clayton didn't give up. Instead he not only re-learned how he could play with only two fingers, but actually re-learned the famed Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto. The Tchaikovsky is one of the most well loved and arguably one of the most violin concertos ever written. Most any violinist would say this is an impossible feat, but you'll soon see why he is considered the "Django Reinhardt" of the violin!
