  • Great content

    I am an adult learner sporadically for nearly two years without direction. I stumbled upon your podcast and it has been very helpful. Although I seem to gravitate towards fiddle music I also enjoy classical. I do plan to arrange lessons soon.

    Thank you

  • Varied, interesting and practical content

    I discovered this podcast recently, after Julia was interviewed on The Strad magazine’s podcast. Found this episode on body awareness particularly useful, as I am rebounding from a (bow arm) injury.
