Although I do not have a family, I have eyes, ears and imagination, and know, as most people know, that the importance of one's children is paramount.

The concept is basically; that the pieces we know and love are made up of scales, arpeggios, and the like.

Raising a small child as a woman while travelling 10 months out of the year would, I believe, be something I would not be able or even want to do, although with the amazing example of Leila, I am no longer so sure.

I am very lucky and grateful to have this living link to a past era, the violin presumably having much more history to it than the later portion that I know.

When you arrive at your destination, pay absolutely no attention to the thing people call jetlag.

Try to look at everything through the eyes of a child.
