Official poster
It’s nice to have an official poster for classrooms all around…! Thanks to D’Addario for all their support (and great strings, cables and more!).
The D’Addario name is a symbol of pride and quality not only in strings but world-class music accessories and cable solutions. Today the company markets its products in the US through whole sale distributors as well as over 5,400 retail music stores. They also have 120 distributors in 101 countries. I use both Helicore and Zyex (medium) strings for my acoustic and electric violins.
They have provided invaluable support to the Creative Strings Workshop and other clinics I’ve conducted over the years. Teachers in public schools string programs through 12th grade as well as collegiate programs and even private studios can and regularly do benefit from the support of D’Addario as well as Yamaha in subsidizing my clinics/workshops and masterclasses.
These special workshops inspire, educate, and help to recruit students into string programs all over the u.s. and internationally.
