ArtistWorks @ NAMM 2014
Tue, 02/11/2014 - 5:02pm
If you’ve never been, The NAMM Show is one of the biggest and best music events of the year - it's huge!
This January, along with round-eared Disney goers, 1,533 exhibiting companies representing 5,010 brands also swarmed Anaheim, California. There were 96,129 registered visitors at NAMM and countless artists of every kind - from living room singer/songwriters to heavy metal superstars and even Stevie Wonder-ful himself.
Four floors were packed with music lovers and the ArtistWorks booth was right in the thick of it – we talked with resellers around the world about our awesome new credit-card-sized online lesson access cards (which can now be sold in-store, on or off-line) - and we had a blast.
How I Decided to Learn to Play Violin
Wed, 07/24/2013 - 12:50pm
I’m often asked how I decided to learn to play the violin. The truth is that I didn’t make the decision at first! My parents both played the flute, and they wanted me to start an instrument once I was old enough to hold one. Violin is one of the rare instruments that you can learn at a very young age, because they make very small student versions, and so at the age of 4 I began to learn to play violin. You may have heard of the Suzuki Method, started by Shinichi Suzuki in the mid-20th century. For some reason, many of the American teachers that he taught settled in the Midwest. I grew up in Lexington, Kentucky, and there was already a strong group of Suzuki teachers and students there by the time I picked up my first violin.
