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…

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…

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…

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.
Just read about Sarah Barton Pine, the child prodigy violinist who is now 35 years old. She had a horrific accident when she was 20 in a commuter train in Chicago wherein her one leg was severed and the other leg mangled. She took a hiatus of 2 year…
I went to a festival lst weekend for my birthday. It was the Old Town School of Folk Music festival here in Chicago. The jam sessions were wonderful. I so wished that I could join them but I need the music in front of me to play and they didn't use…

- 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.
