How I turn prisoners into violin virtuosos
Tito Quiroz used to wave at the inmates of the prison next door to his university. He never dreamed he'd one day go inside to teach them music lessons.
Tito Quiroz used to wave up at the inmates of the prison next door to his university in Ensenada, Mexico, and they'd wave back from their cell windows. Then, one day, he got the opportunity to go inside to teach them his passion, the violin. Tito endured the somewhat intimidating atmosphere inside, and found an audience desperate to learn. One man in particular would use the music he was imbued with to turn his life around.
