"I began this program with only one year of violin playing. I gravitated to this course and Heather's teaching methods, because of her passion for building a solid foundation for adult learners.
Right away in the first lesson, I learned how to use bow speed, position, and placement to play more musically with dynamics, which I was NEVER allowed to work on before coming to Heather.
I have enjoyed this course immensely, and I recommend it to anyone looking to solidify basic techniques to play with musical expression. The etudes in this course that Heather wrote will become the basis of my daily practice routine."
