    Heather,
    I would have loved to have had this instruction when I started my violin journey. I believe it would have alleviated much of the frustrations I have felt. It’s like trying to build a house without a foundation.

      Cathy, Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.

      It is so true…Wouldn’t it be awesome if all violinists could set up the exceptional foundation at the beginning….it really does make a difference on the rate of progress.

      Sometimes violinists think it doesn’t make that much of a difference but as they progress to more difficult techniques a not so great foundation can be the hinderance that stops them from progressing further. xoxo
