Today we started a new project! As you know I now give all my lessons on Zoom. Today I gave the second private lesson to Versha, a young girl starting on Violin. She has been playing at school and wished to have more instruction time. My worry was that I couldn't be there for the hands-on instruction and guidance that a beginner needs. So in comes our superhero Varun! He is a 6th grader who is making great progress on the Violin and is Versha's friend and neighbor. He participated in Versha's lesson and acted as my stand-in, demonstrator, and EEi interactive expert. It went wonderfully. New ways of problem-solving for these unique times! Give Varuna a cape for his heroic performance!
