Alexa’s Twinkler’s Chart was a blast!

March 27, 2014 by Love Nurtured Music

Congratulations to Alexa, who was so excited to complete her first “Twinkler’s Chart” with stickers this week during violin practice. She promised to practice her Twinkle variations and theme every day and she delivered! Mom said she was so excited that she wanted to practice multiple times per day and compete her chart. Way to go, Alexa!

General Advise On Choosing a Violin – Sources of Violins in the Dallas/Plano/Richardson Area

August 20, 2013 by Love Nurtured Music

By Rigo Murillo

General Advise On Choosing a Violin:

violin-girlYoung students’ sizes should be determined by the individual teacher. If you are shopping for a violin for a Suzuki student, my personal recommendation is to ALWAYS check with your teacher before you head out shopping for an instrument. Make sure the dealer will let you take it to the teacher for approval as conditional to continue your commitment to rent or buy. Show the violin to your child’s teacher to check on size and playability. Since violin makers don’t have a “standard” set of fractional sizes, there can be a 1/8 violin that is the same size, or even smaller than a 1/10 of another maker. You want your child to have the most ease of playing and a pleasant learning experience.

For the older student, the best option is to take time visiting the shops personally and try several instruments. The shop owners know it’s a crucial decision for the student and parent to get a good fit. They will let you try several models and price ranges, and usually explain the instrument’s origin, construction, and possible usability. The violins should be easy to play, have a well-round sound (they have different character), pleasant to the ear.

It may take more than one visit to a shop to come up with a satisfactory decision. Though all these shops carry good quality instruments, it will take some shopping around to get the best fit for the student.

Why We LOVE LNM

This-Is-Why-We-Love-LNM "I have been amazed at how my son longs to play his violin now. He’s been learning faster than I thought he would learn."

“My daughter is 10 and loves her violin lessons with Mr. Murillo. She’s been making a lot of progress with her violin pieces since she’s been taking lessons with him."

"Violin lessons with Mr. Rigo are fun and enjoyable. He explains how the Suzuki method works and how to practice the violin pieces better. He’s is an outstanding violinist and teacher.”

"We're so lucky to have found Mr. Rigo's studio. Our daughter has been very motivated to practice and is making remarkable progress since she has been studying at Love Nurtured Music Studio. The group lessons and the recital performances have been totally worth the time involved."
