Great. the names(words) you give to the interpretations are they classical or your own?

[roysonne]

Hi Bruce. Good question! The technical terms such as martele, spiccato, etc, are standard violinistic vocabulary as are the interpretive words -- color, singing, dancing, etc. However I am applying them in my own way.

Wow! do You have a CD? you are so very very amazing. Are you the best player in the world? i went and practiced for twenty minutes after i watched your video!!! But then i stopped because i needed to watch all your other videos. i think what you are doing with new directions in music is fantastic. Bravo, Encore and put out the cat.

Best wishes!!!!!!! ;-)

Hi Vajelliott,

Many thanks for your wonderfully enthusiastic comments. If you play your instrument with that kind of enthusiasm you will do very well indeed. If you are a violinist you might be interested in my Accolay DVD which you can buy from Shar. That's the only thing I have on the market right now. Very best wishes,

Thank you & thank you!!!! I was surfing around the net looking for something or someone to positively influence my daughter with her violin lessons as her teacher has chosen to kick her out instead of challenging her by showing the colorful facets hidden behind the strings. Your video was exactly what I was looking for... Now I need to find a new teacher for her! Thank you again!

Hello Clzoldi,

Many thanks for your appreciative comment. Good luck in finding a new teacher who will be a good fit for your daughter. Both parties need to be happy with the relationship. The student shouldn't have to compromise and neither should the teacher. Very best wishes. RS

Hi Rapidincline, I started playing when I was five, so, I've been at it for a while. Nowadays I mostly perform and teach lessons to other people.

Wow these are wonderful. I am an adult player ( almost 2 years) And I can actually play this song in the video - but what I like so much is that it shows me a NEW level I can get to - awesome!!!! Thanks.
