Excuse me for butting in. But Kevin in Canada, you posted a week ago about learning folk, now wanting classical. Is this violin, or guitar? I`ll presume it`s violin allright (what they call the fiddle, ugggghhh) and I better learn this fact. Anybody feel free to answer please. Secondly, my point is, Kevin - you are looking for a new teacher. In what city do you live? There are teachers where you live, especially since you mentioned being near a University, unless you`re in an Igloo village! Canada`s Strat Man Dwight - strategies for all musicians
