Fabulous day on feb 7 at the Sydney String Centre 2016 Teacher Open Day talking to string teachers about my Workshop books for beginner string players. I was invited to speak at the Open Day, together with Hans-Helmut Suckau (Director at Music Knowledge PTY LTD) re Editions and Standard Publications and David Glanville (head luthier of Sydney Strings). David's talk was on how to identify and prevent problems that may be occurring with student's instruments and why the regular servicing of instruments can prevent issues. Hans' detailed discussion was on different editions, rare or standard.
The Glanvilles (owners of Sydney Strings) together with their staff, made the day a most memorable experience. Their hospitality and assistance was brilliant. The Centre has just been refurbished and it is the most amazing space. Every aspect is a delight and to have strings showcased in this way is truly an asset to Sydney. Individual try out rooms look like old style shop fronts, the display and range of instruments and accessories is a joy.
