Dear KL,
Thanks for what you do.
Our little Michael is awaiting to test the Beta of the LMs.
I was learning violin for 8 years in the musical school from the age of six. In parallel we all obtained extensive training in solfedge, musical literature, chorus, ensemble, orchestra and piano. I always loved violin, but probably she did not love me... So after finishing the musical school i played in a local youth symphonic orchestra (from Strauss to Gershwin and Moriat), but that's it. Since I started to study, I basically did not play a note. I played 2 times in a progressive rock band (while beeing a student) as I don't have problems to improvise but the lack of technical skills is my main problem. So that's it with violin.
Actually I am also singing. Since childhood I was in a church choir, since then having a good impression about polyphony and a capella. And several last years I am singing opera arias solo, giving concerts with my wife regularly.
Well, she is a professional pianist, having musical school, then academy, then university, and even post-graduate studies in background. Also she is a piano teacher, giving lessons to small children, and she really likes that.
We would be eager to help you with improving the LMs.
With kindest regards,
Ilya and Victoria
