Thought of my adult students who are learning to jam… I’ve enjoyed all the materials I’ve bought from Kat Bula Music and this course looks so useful! On sale 50% off for a week

Chords for Fiddlers/Violinistsonline course This course is for you if you’ve ever thought to yourself… When other musicians try to talk to me about songs in terms of their chord progressions, I just go blank. What am I supposed to do with that information?""Why can’t I even google satisfy....

It was so nice to catch up with a student who took lessons at Silver Strings from elementary through high school who graduated a couple years ago, and was accepted to Colorado State University with a minor in music. 🎻 She is becoming such a wonderful young woman who is studying environmental science and on a mission to summit all the 14ers in Colorado. Here’s her testimonial “ I started taking viola lessons as a complete beginner with Karen when I was in 5th grade, and continued weekly until I graduated high school. Throughout this time, Karen helped improve my playing by leaps and bounds, from barely scratching out a note or two to getting into the top group of Colorado’s All State Orchestra. She is without a doubt one of the most patient and knowledgeable teachers I’ve ever had, and truly cares about helping her students get the skills and confidence to succeed. When I entered college as a music minor, the high stakes and expectations felt incredibly reasonable due to the solid preparation I had with Karen through her multifaceted approach to music. Beyond just solo pieces, she often extends her coaching to group playing in orchestras, preparing for auditions, learning music theory, and even helping to manage performance anxiety and stage fright. Her lessons are structured in a very personalized way to help you achieve whatever your goals for playing are, whether that’s participating in group ensembles, learning more modern and non-classical music, or just generally trying to learn the basics of stringed instruments. I cannot say enough good things about Karen and would highly recommend her to anybody of any skill level attempting to improve their playing.” Thanks !!!
