Here is a question why do teachers charge so dang much ? I thought I would learn somthing new so I got a " fair " violin and went looking for a teacher to find that every one in my nearest town wanted to charge 25-60 BUCKS per 1/2 hr. I told them I'm not one of those marble headed kids that are being forced to practice ! I'm an older person that wants to learn, I know that I'm never going pro. or even to a community level player BUT I do want to look and sound like I do know what I'm doing while in the park or where ever !
I can't wait to hear the bees swarm on this topic
