Win the book Vio's Violin by Kenesha T. Ryce & a $40 gift certificate to the Music for Young Violinists store. Entering is easy, scroll down to learn how. What was the best that happened this past school year? Wow, just wow! It's so precious to have a moment to reflect on another school year. I just finished nursing school and am one step closer to bridging the gap between the arts and healing. My family is on a plane to visit and celebrate my graduation as I type and I am practicing my self-control by refraining from sampling the cookies I bought for my party. At the beginning of the school year, I asked: "What's the best that can happen?" Now, with another year under our belts, I would love to hear back from you: "What was the best that actually did happen?" Please share in the blog comments by the end of this weekend, and you will be entered into a M4YV giveaway contest. The winner will be chosen at random by the end of the day on Sunday, June 16. They will win this fantastic book pictured above to inspire violin practice + a $40 gift certificate to the M4YV store. Need a little inspiration to keep up the momentum on summer break?
Head on over to the M4YV sheet music store for some instant downloads where everything is 40% off thru the end of the weekend.

One of my students tried out for three Honor Orchestras this year, two different All-States and a local tri-County and was selected as Principal chair in all three! It doesn't get any better than that!

I took a step outside my comfort zone and made a proposal to a preschool to bring violin lessons to the little peeps. I was surprised to be welcomed with open arms. I learned a lot from that process.

Thanks so much for sharing Ellen. Every teacher who is working to share their gifts with their community can relate to the leap of faith this takes. I am really proud of you! I posted an entire series here on the blog and YouTube sharing ways to grow your studio in case that helps. Best wishes, HF

One of my students learned and performed Oscar Rieding's Concerto in B minor, first movement, for our recital this spring.
