Violinist's Playbook, Notes for the Creative Violin Teacher

My booklet is on Etsy and ready to be downloaded. Click here for more information. The Violinist's Playbook is geared towards violin teachers but many of the games and exercises can also be incorporated at home during violin practice, so it may be interesting for any parents wanting to make practice time more exciting.

Violin project

Spent some time reminiscing about my work at a girls' school in Dublin and looking through old photos. I worked with about 200 students from 4th to 6th class. I hope some of the kids are still making music!
