My newest student š, sheās stuck like glue to my side when I practice with her cardboard violin and sticker foot chart. So she just pretends to play and insists on her own music stand at all times. Itās pretty cute š„° š»

Nearly ready for grade 7 exam. I love helping each of my students set big goals and guide them as they go through the process of achieving them. Itās not an easy process and requires a consistent practice routineā¦but it can actually be lots of fun and truly satisfiying when each student can see their own growth.
