Welcome to My Blog!


Please enjoy these thoughts on playing the violin, often written after assisting a student through a unique challenge or hearing an inspiring violinist. There are countless valid and diverse approaches to playing the violin. As the saying goes, different strokes ( pun intended) for different folks, right? These posts are simply reflections, shaped by the teachers I've learned from, the musicians I've encountered, and the students I've guided. I find endless fascination in exploring how violin sounds are created. Feel free to take what resonates and leave behind what doesn't. Regardless of our approaches, may we all nurture joy and curiosity in our musical journey.

I invite you to take a moment to peruse the blog titles that spark your interest.
