Hello -

IN 1983, I graduated in Violin Performance in Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada.

From the beginning my object was to teach violin for a living and to play violin for pleasure.

This is 2007 - and I'm still at it!

In 1983, I travelled to 5 towns each week, teaching countless lessons. From the most-talented to the least-talented, many hundreds of students have contributed to my own growth as a teacher. For the curious: I have calculated that my travels took me 6 1/2 times around the earth!!! (Ah, the energy of youth!!)

Some of my students have become very good players indeed. - a few have entered the professional field. Most are competent players - many continue to play in their home communities - and this has been a source of much pleasure to me.

They ALL play in tune!

In 2002 I began to organize the many arrangements that have grown out of this experience. This website is a partial result of that effort.
This work will continue until the last of my students has gone, and, good health allowing, well past that day.

Now, in 2007, my travelling days are done - I have a beautiful studio attached to the house, and now everyone comes to me! I am most fortunate to work at something I love to do.

I hope that you and your students will enjoy this music.

Yours,

Peter Dunn and ViolinWorks
