Great violin music requires not just a great instrument and a miraculous composition, but also great violin instruction! Consider this list of the greatest teachers:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Battista_Viotti
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Joachim
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Bohm
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Rode
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_Auer
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucien_Capet
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Galamian
From top to bottom, i.e.1795-1981, these were in turn teachers of those below in the list and students of those above.
Phyllis Skoldberg studied with Galamian at The Julliard and, after a successful performing career, taught violin at ASU/MCC in Arizona It was my great fortune to study with her during the 2002-2003 period! She instructed me on technique, interpretation, and the design features of this wonderful tool. She taught many more talented students and one of them should write her wikipedia entry!
