Note from the violin teacher:
Hello current and prospective students!
For those of you who know me, it goes without saying that I have a huge commitment to excellence (you might not be able to tell if you look in my kitchen cabinets, but that statement certainly holds true for string playing and teaching!)
I place a lot of importance on proper technique while still keeping things fresh and fun. After all, music is about enjoyment. It should be just as entertaining to play the violin as it is to listen to it.
I always tell my students never to accept anything that is "almost.." or "good enough" while practicing. That's not our aim when we practice. But who said hard work couldn't be fun? Not to mention, there's nothing better than reaping the reward of our hard work!
