Shenzhen: Weight Off Your Shoulders

School starts tomorrow after a two-week Chinese New Year break. Time to prepare the violin and cellos for the incoming young musicians.

Grade 5 (Year 6) students will resume their Strings Programme after a 4-week hiatus with traditional Chinese string instruments (my blip of 21 January 2014). It's all about fingers now which means an introduction to the weird and wonderful world of shoulder rests, being unpacked and adjusted here, for the violinists. Lucky cellists.
