Oh my dear lord!!!!!!! GYPSY FIDDLERS!!!!! AHHH!!!!!

Please tell me you took their offer! Please! Gypsies are AWESOME!!!!! You MUST make one of them a teacher! I COMMAND you! That is my life's DREAM! I wish I could have bee brought up by Gypsy fiddlers! I am actually getting my left ear pierced soon in honour of them! I also wear many Gypsy-like clothes! Oh my god. Start a new thread under members chat and tell me all about them! I am on the verge of tears I am so excited. You must make one of them (possibly their king) her teacher, lest she will regret it for the rest of her life. Please. I beg of you.

I am thinking about becoming a Gypsy if I can find a place with lots of them and if they will let me. Really.

About the shoulder rest; just train her not to use one. It is a very rare gift for your daughter to be so young and not want a shoulder rest at all. Do not make her use one. If there is anything I have learned from playing the violin, it is that originality is one of the greatest things in life. If one doesn't need or want to do something according to the rules, they do not have to.
