After 8 exhausting months, Vamoosh beginner book for violin is finally up on the App Store. Hopefully this will empower parents when helping their children practise. Clear demonstrations and great material will hopefully motivate, if not remove any excuse for not understanding what they were supposed to do. There's even an option to film yourself playing, either for granny's and friends' pleasure, or for feedback from your teacher. No more excuses!

Recently attended the London Cello Society day at the Academy. Very interesting to see Irene Sharp directing 70 young cellists. I'm looking forward to running the same class with Vamoosh material at their next event in November.
