Hi Beth!

I just became a member of ViolinLab, and I’m excited to learn more so I can pass the information along to my students! I’m a new high school/ middle school orchestra director. As a trained percussionist, I have little experience with string orchestra, other than playing timpani in college and as a fill in percussionist for the local symphony. The videos on your site are really great for people like me, who need to know how to communicate the ideas behind fundamental and intermediate techniques, without having a string background.

I was wathing your videos with my violinist friends and they were amazed! 🙂 You’ve such a soothing, comforting and nice voice and you really know much about violins! I’m studying in university to be a psychiatric nurse and me and my classmates LOVE YOU! Beth, you are awesome! Please do your videos more!

At your website I’m like a kid in a candy store. I jump all over the place because everything is so dang interesting. It’s overwhelming, and I’m not sure how profitable it is to jump around to different categories of lessons, but I’m doing the best I can. It takes a lot of discipline to follow the steps. For instance . . . I can’t resist playing Christmas carols with you right now!

Thank you so much. I appreciate you and your lessons, and the fact that I can revisit them as many times as I want. It also helps so much that you play the violin so often in your lessons. When I can hear how the music is supposed to sound, there is a much greater chance that I can achieve something similar.

“Something similar” is what I’m going for at this stage. Something remotely recognizable to what you sound like. J
