Today is ALL SAINTS DAY. It is associated with Halloween, and is the day that we remember those were gone before us. I made this recording a few weeks back for a Service of Remembrance at my own church. I give this as my gift to all those who have lost loved ones this year, or ever. It is called Ave Maria, by J.S. Bach. Please find peace in this music, and let music heal your heart. ❤️ day

Did you know that music 🎶 lessons are GREAT for your brain, especially as a child!

Children who study music:

- typically get higher grades than other kids.
- associate with other kids that are doing something good for their brains.
- have a hobby and outlet that they will take into their lives that will consistently bring them joy and peace.
- learn ways of expressing themselves that are both positive and healing for themselves and others
- have greater self-confidence, knowing that they do something well that they enjoy!

It’s a fact. Studying music is good for your emotional and intellectual life.

Why not give Violin lessons to your child today?

If you or someone you know has a child who is interested in music, let me know! I teach online and in person and I’m right here in Elburn, Illinois.

"When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest."
-Henry David Thoreau, Journal, 1857
