Here's a new study aid for the Mazas etudes, a recording of the Op. 36 Etudes Spéciales for violin, performed by Idaho-based violinist Lisa McNiven. “One of my students asked me if a recording was available to help her prepare for All-State auditions,” McNiven said. “I told her there really wasn’t, and soon after decided to do a recording project to create the product and fill that gap in violin education.” To celebrate the release, McNiven is offering a 17% discount (through Aug. 31) to help students prepare for the 2017 auditions through her shop at LisaMcNiven.com, using the coupon code ALLSTATE17. McNiven plans to release a recording of the same set of etudes, for viola, in the fall.
