  I amaze myself how often my bow crooks when I am consciously trying to bow straight. And I'm like, "Really?" It's like my brain can't walk and chew gum at the same time. It happens most often when I'm learning a new piece and focused on getting fingerings correct.

  A very good teacher who is clear, detailed and concise. Hope that you would have more videos that would teach the songs from Suzuki book 4 soon!

  Thank you so freakin much! Ive been playing for ten years now and I was just about to quit due to the frustration and actual pain my hands were suffering! Now I am convinced that playing the violín is the most beautiful thing that ever happen to me! Big bear hug! And from the bottom of my soul... thank you! My name is Ludwig by the way 🙂

  I've had tremendous problems with my right shoulder as a consequence of teaching myself (badly). Your videos are a real help. I think with some application I might be able to sort things out thanks to them. How I wish I'd had resources like these when I was learning in the 80s. Thanks very much indeed. Even at a distance you seem to be a very good teacher. Pity you don't live round here!

  Great lessons Lora, I can see I have much room for improvement. This will help a lot. As I am self taught this is like having an instructor. Many thanks.

  Thank you!  I played in high school and am returning to the instrument.  High school was a very long time ago.  These are great.

  What fun. Can't wait to try these exercises.  As a person with a hearing loss I'm sure this will help enhance playing.  Thank you for all of your tutorials.
