Wow Lynn! I really love your teaching style. Within 48 hours you have won me over! Your imagery to explain technique is out of this world. I'm thoroughly enjoying this challenge. There is so much substance to your video. I'm SO excited to finally meet someone that has a small hand like me (I had to have a violin specially made because of it). I've been searching for so long for someone who understands. Looking forward to watching the Day 3 live! Michelle Carlin

It would have been fantastic that you could have provided Kourgev-Dounis double stop mechanism approach exercises focused on the Chaconne as well 😊
