I promise I will get to them!!!

This week I've been at the Mark O'Connor strings conference/fiddle camp here in San Diego. Then next week I will be doing Suzuki Book 4 teacher training so the fun keeps on rolling...

The highlight of my week has been seeing Mark O'Connor and Rachel Barton-Pine play in person! I've always met some incredible players that I've recognized from youtube and violinist.com. It's small world indeed. Today I even passed Rachel Barton-Pine talking on her cell phone and guess what she was wearing? A violinist.com t-shirt! I'm very thankful to have had such a wonderful summer so far and to be surrounded by AMAZING players!

I attended the OSU Strings Teacher Workshop...

...and now I'm in Santa Barbara for viola lessons with Helen Callus...She's proving to be an amazing teacher. Check out her site to see her recordings: Http://www.helencallus.com

There's so much to say about both trips...but so little time to say it. However I do promise an update soon.

Hope everyone is doing well.

As a reminder to myself:

discuss

-traveling to ohio
-the participants of the workshop
-the methods classes
-the nightlife
-the overall experience

-the drive to Santa Barbara
-the first lesson experience
-bow hand
-left hand
-practicing
