Thank you for all your sentiments. Her memorial service is on the 23rd of January where we had our recitals in a Lutheran church. The other teachers and Meghan's family want to keep the music studio running so the other teachers are trying to resche…
Hi. My name is Jean. I've posted on here a few times. I am 59 years old and started violin lessons 2 years ago. My violin teacher, a 26 year old young woman, died last week after a month long condition. It shook my faith and now I don't even want to…
Please remember in your prayers this Christmas, my violin teacher, Meghan. She is in a Chicago hospital in ICU on a ventilator diagnosed with adult respiratory distress syndrome. She is only 26 years old. She owns the music studio where I've taken v…
Hi Jean. My name is Luiz and I started to play the violin when I was 5. In those times, as I was so young, things to me were so easy. But I have to say one thing. You made me remember one friend that used to study violin with me, the same school as…

Be patient, it just takes time and practice. Be sure to practice every day, even if it is just a little. As far as being behind, or ahead, I agree of many of the comments, that there is no universal gauge for speed of learning. You must enjoy the pr…
I have been taking violin lessons for 22 months and I still can't do vibrato. My teacher even uses it playing scales. I so want to be able to do vibrato. Everything sounds so much better with vibrato. I will look for that DVD on vibrato from shar mu…
Hello to all. I am now learning Brahms Waltz in Suzuki Book 2. Having a difficult time crossing strings and with that ornament in it. Tried to play it with sori004jy but I can't keep up with her yet. Someday, I will.
I think it's hilarious that you started what you did. Wish more people would do that.
Hi to all. I am so in awe of people knowing how to play fiddle without having to have music in front of them. Went to The Old Town School of Folk Music festival last weekend for my birthday and the jam sessions were wonderful. I wised I could join t…
Meet the staff of Strings. These are your fellow Community members who help create Strings magazine, allthingsstrings.com, and your favorite online community.
I am wondering how long any of you that play in your church took lessons before you could feel confident in playing before a congregation.

- I am looking for quartet music for the Lover's Waltz by Jay Unger. When I did a search, I see that you had found one. Could you tell me where? Thanks. Judy Baumann

- Jean: Don't the PC trypes make you sick?! Those self appointed/annointed so and so's can say anything that fits their agenda, but it is oh-so-terrible when others post something they don't agree with -- especially if it even so much as hints at a Judeo-Christian topic or belief. Too bad she's the moderator. Those types seem to always weild a heavy hand when they assume positions of authority, no matter how inconsequential.
