[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Convenient location is important but I would rank violin teacher as equally or more important. [b]Don't take viola lessons from a violinist. Don't take violin lessons from a violist (btdt).[/b] Find a violin teacher for your DC.[/quote] Can you say more about this? [/quote] There is a conceit among violists that they play "better" than violinists, that their technique is more, etc. But actually their technique is different, and not suited/optimized for a violin. I took lessons from a generalist and injured my should/rotator cuff. I switched to a specialist for the instrument and learned better technique after that. There is a high incidence of injury among strings players. All players, beginners and advanced, children and adults, need the best technique to play injury-free. [/quote]
