Dear Beth: I just wanted you to know how happy I am that I found your website!!! i am a 63-year-old piano teacher by profession. For the last year plus I have been helping my five-year-old grandson who lives with me to learn violin through the Suzuki method. I had him start partly out of…
I have loved your website. It is so in depth and so well organized to start from beginning to end in a systematic order. The guided practices are the icing on the cake. I am just about to purchase the 9-14 series. Your way of teaching is so easy to understand and your videos are…
Hello Beth. I recently joined your website and community. Wow is all I can say! I am so thrilled to have found you! Your instructional videos are incredible! I have learned so much in just the last three days and have put it immediately into my practice sessions and it is making a HUGE difference…
I feel I’ve found a gold mine! Playing the violin has been a life long dream but with raising a family and working full time, there was never time and it always remained the top item in my ‘dream list’ for retirement. A long time ago, I bought the cheapest violin I could find and…
Thank you very much Mrs. Blackerby, for providing such an excellent in-depth instructional program. I am gaining much from the videos and recommending your superior resource to very many people! The videos have been very helpful for me as a beginner in developing technique and tone qualities. I am understanding more and more that as…
Your videos are smart and simple, perfect for people who likes learning extremely useful stuff in the nick of time. Also, did you bewitched your videos? For I was completely engaged in it! .)

I think you’re phenomenal, and I’ve watched a lot of your videos and you prove that you’re a great teacher again and again. I also really like that you have an inquisitive mind. You’re always on the lookout for new ways and new approaches. Honestly, if I was younger, I’d move to Austin just so…
Dear Beth,I’m a relative newcomer to Violin Lab, but I must say your videos have helped me make more progress on tone production in the last two months than 2 years of private lessons. Your video on how to play staccato and right hand relaxation have been incredibly helpful. Many of your suggestions speak clearly…
Beth, I just wanted to send you an email to tell you that I just found your site today via some of your YouTube videos on learning violin. I’m an adult who started taking Bluegrass Fiddle lessons about 5 months ago and I am loving it! I played the piano for years and always wanted…

You can’t imagine what a blessing your teaching videos in such a situation are! I have the computer and a big mirror right next to each other, so I can watch myself and try to match what you teach. It is a challenge, that is true! But I really, really like it, and I just…
