だからこうしてバイオリンの音色だ雨音かき消す can be translated as "That's why I use the sound of my violin to drown out the rain's". It sounds more natural (and the translation is correct. かき消す means "drown").

And そうずつと幼いころからの could be "I've done it since I was young". It's simply expanding on "it's an habit from childhood"
