I loved the Suzuki reference, being a Suzuki student myself.
This lecture was informative, and cleared up my
misconceptions (just in time for an audition piece, thank
goodness.)

Dear Todd Ehle,
I find your approach is excellent.And the best I could
find. Because the clips are
1.Objective /Structured
2.Straight to the point.
3.Well filmed and recorded.
4. Accent of speech is easy to comprehend.
5. No holding back facts.
6. Encouraging.

Is the whole lot available for sale? If so some details of
the place to get them.
Thanks for the fantastic sincere effort.
David.
