PopTodd Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 She's in a competition to perform on the "Experience Hendrix Tour 2014." But in order to get a spot on the tour, she needs people to vote for her. VOTE HERE While we will all miss her if she goes off on tour for a while, it would be a really nice gift to give an excellent teacher and a very nice person. Plus, just LISTEN! She's amazing!

KevinG Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Very cool, I voted for her. Good luck. On a side note (albeit a personal one), how long has your son been playing violin? What kind of music does this teacher focus on? The reason I ask is my son who is 9 has been playing for about two years and we found a really good teacher, who does a combination Suzuki / Fiddle teaching style. He will give his students a Suzuki tune and then "balance" it out with a bluegrass tune. Also he has started a fiddle group with some of the students, which end up playing a small coffee houses and bars (Sunday mornings) a couple times of year. It has given me a great appreciation for bluegrass. I also like the "recitals" a lot better because it is not 10 kids all playing Minute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My son's been playing about 2.5 years.His teacher focuses on whatever kind of music he wants to learn. For his last recital, he played "Some Nights" by Fun. Although, the bulk of his instruction is based upon the Suzuki method and he is working his way through those books.Right now my son is working on the theme from "The Pink Panther" and a Bach piece.

theashtraysays Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 You can't earn your parent stripes till you've sat through Hot Cross Buns at least 10 times. Once you've cleared that, it's all downhill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
