My student recital

https://proventsystems.com/rz8vv4st66i I want to write a few words (more like gush) about my students. I don’t do it often (ever) and it’s a long time coming. I never thought I would be the teacher who got all teary eyed after a student performance so I was caught off guard when things started stirring a little bit. For those of you who have studied with me and know me, Continue Reading This Post

One of My Violins

https://www.skipintros.com/photos/98539/yw27mw8xyk I play on a David Rapkievian violin who lives in Washington Grove, MD. David has entered violins and violas in three international competitions and has won awards in all three (2002, 2000 and 1982) including the silver medal for tone at the VSA International Competition in 2002. I enjoy playing on his violin because of the rich tone and clarity. Continue reading “One of My Violins”

According to the wiki on violins, the first violin was a four-string instrument built by italian Andrea Amati in 1555. Close cousins to the instrument date back further — likely to the Byzantine Empire. Continue reading “How Violins Are Made”
