I couldn't find this on YouTube, so I thought I would upload it myself. I obviously don't own the rights to Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. This is episode 1755...

Today is the day. Finally trying out the new Thomastik-Infeld DYNAMO violin strings. Yesterday I broke my e string and was meaning to restring my instrument anyway. I’ve been a Peter Infeld loyalist the last many years. This DYNAMO set of strings was a gift from a student. 🎻

Learn the violin! Start with the Suzuki method. I love teaching the violin and watching students grow in their musical ability and creative expression. I enjoy connecting with all kinds of people and patiently encouraging them to develop a love of music in their life and home.

I teach students of all ages from beginners with no experience to intermediate and advanced levels. I strive for greater playing ability in a nurturing environment while always making a beautiful sound. I start with the Suzuki method for beginners.

My music education focuses the student through immersion, encouragement, small steps, and an unforced timetable for learning material based on each student's development and ability to imitate examples and internalize principles. Regular consistent practice is required and parent involvement is encouraged for younger students. Reviewing material, position, intonation, and bow techniques to always make a beautiful sound is of primary importance.

I'm located in Mukilteo, contact for more info and rates.

Went camping and filmed this tune out in the woods next to a creek near Mount Rainier with Nick. It was a beautiful and relaxing place.
