Just a quick entry because I have to go, but my mom talked to Linda Cerone yesterday via phone, and although we're not 100% sure I'm studying with her at Encore, we're keeping our hopes up! She sounds really nice, and I've heard that from other people too. She said it would be OK if I went to Ireland for a week or so in the middle of camp--we might go to represent the movie (Rittenhouse Square documentary) in the Galway Film Festival! That would be really cool, I've never been out of the country except when I was little and we went to Mexico. Another plus to studying with Linda would be she has small hands, like I do, and she could help me with some of the problems I have with stretching and things. (My violin teacher at home is about 6' 5"!)
I decided to buy a bow by Nurnberger, as opposed to another French one by Gillet. I liked both of them, and the Gillet may have been prettier, but I really prefer bigger, thicker sticks with more power, and when you press down the hair doesn't touch the bow.
