Where to get sheet music...

Most of sheet music used in lessons can be purchased online at www.sharmusic.com or www.sheetmusicplus.com or order from a local music retail store. Orchestral and large ensemble works can be purchased from Luck's Music Library.

Where to repair/buy/rent violin and bow...

Two places we recommend are: Hans Weisshaar Violin Shop and Benning Violins. Both are highly reputable businesses. We do not encourage buying instruments over internet without proper examination and supervision by experienced professionals.

Where to find quality classical CDs...

Tower Records of New York City is a good place, with its online web it is easily accessible. Naxos is a record company and distributor of classical recordings, it contains both established recording artists and rarely heard artists. CD Baby is the new generation independent direct marketing recording company. It allows artists to sell recordings directly to customers, and one can find a lot of great performers on its inventory. In the world of free internet, one can also do research online via search engines of You Tube, which contains a wide variety of classical recordings and videos.
