A Wonderful Suzuki Violin Book!

I have been studying Jennifer Burton's new Suzuki violin book: Sharpen Your Tools. I have been pleasantly impressed by the amount of thought she put into it. This Suzuki technique book will help in practicing violin technique by giving the parent and student four to six activities aimed to strengthen a specific set of skills, all on one page. The skills covered in Sharpen Your Tools range from posture to left hand technique, to tone, to bow control. The book is focused on the "pre-twinkle" level throughout the early book 1 level.

This book is a wonderful asset for parents, students, and teachers alike. If you are serious about your child's progress of his/her violin skills (especially in Suzuki early level), I strongly recommend you to get this book and show it to your teacher. I am sure there will be a lot of activities and exercises from this book that you and your child will benefit from.

To order the book, contact Jenny Burton at:

Until next time,

Ebay Violin deal? $20.00 !! ?? Beware ! !

Beware !!

If you have seen one of those "deals" of shiny Stradivarius violins, two bows, "deluxe" case, etc. You might be up for an adventure.

I have had multiple people come up to me saying: "I just found this deal on ebay!" and they get really exited. My answer is almost always: How much? Then, the person tells the price... $80... $50... $40, $30, $20 !! And I say ... NO !! Believe it or not, you may very well get ripped off with that deal.

Why?

I will tell you soon...

Until then,

Blessings.
