As an adult beginner, I joined the forum to gather inspiration to continue to practice.
There are so many dishonest people on the internet. I am always skeptical of anything at first. Pierre seems to me to be quite unassuming, no bull, just "here's how you do it" videos that actually teach and you can learn, if you have a desire and put your own effort into it. Yes he sells products, such as violins, bows and all the accessories. To me he has a great internet business model, I did an almost day's worth of checking prices of comparable products and I can tell you, he's in line or better. None of the other guys offered me FREE violin lessons, especially of this caliber! The guy is smart, I sense that all the hard work of building such a vast website and to make it profitable, it will always remain vital to treat people fairly! That just me! Jakop
