"How To" Videos

Hello Nation,

As some of you know, I am an instrumental music teacher in Maryland as well as a CBG builder and player. I have recently entered 3 videos in an Instructional Technology competition. They are representative of what I do as a music teacher. The first one is for use by parents, so that they can learn more about the instruments their children are interested in playing. The second one is for use by students so that they can have a refresher course when they get home. The third video is for use by other music teachers - I show how to fit a new violin bridge (some of you may find this interesting as well). This is a shameless plea for support from the Nation. Please follow the link below to the contest page. I am Entry #28. If it says the video is not found, just click on the weblink below it. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE FOR ME AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE!

Thanks everyone. I know I can count on you!

-Ben
