Friday, November 8th was a special day here at the Studio, as Western University Professor of Violin, Mel Martin was on hand to present a fabulous Guest Artist Masterclass for the students of Cavatina Violin Studio.

Throughout the two hour Materclass, Mel worked with five students; giving each one wonderful pointers and feedback about their playing. By the end of the Masterclass both audience members and participating performers had learned so much. It was a pleasure to watch everyone grow and learn!

A special thank you to Mel, for presenting a wonderful Masterclass, and so patiently working with everyone. An additional thank you to pianist, Christopher Siu for his work accompanying everyone.
