This is one reason why I believe personal instruction (rather than learning from books or through online resource) is almost a requirement for progressing quickly on violin and viola. I always try to acknowledge my students accomplishments and push them to become the best musicians they can be.

As a slow learner myself growing up, I believe that everyone can learn how to play great music with good instruction. Read More
