Thank you for sharing this lesson moment with Lucy Shaw! It's so good to hear how a fine teacher can guide and encourage.
There is so much to playing the violin, it's good to focus on something more than just the notes on the page & technical issues. Of course, all that must be in place as well. But I think some teachers might forget about the music itself. Let's not forget that the flow and the feel of the music create the expression for which even a young student with the simplest of pieces can aspire. Wow! That was priceless. Thank you. Steve oh, the invaluable importance of a teacher who is actively thinking and looking at things from different perspectives. Searching for what's true and what works rather than doggedly following textbooks, curriculums and accepted practices.

Has anyone thoughts about the help versus hindrance question of such conveniences as eletronic tuners and shoulder rests?
