Violin Lesson; Meditation from Thais (page 1)

I recommend you purchase a real score, however, it is public domain music so you can find a free version (with positions written in) on the downloads page of my website (www.toddehle.com). Also, I don’t normally teach pieces – this is an experiment. Hopefully you can follow along.
