Hi, I’m Laura!

Last week, I had to do something every violin teacher dreads: I had been sick earlier in the week, which meant rescheduling two five-year-olds to the very last period at school on a Friday afternoon. Right in the middle of their classroom free play time. Eeeeeeeeek!

One of them crossed her arms and almost outright refused to come with me. It felt horrible competing with her free time and feeling like the villain. But the moment I introduced our Christmas Action Song from the Hub, the whole energy flipped. She suddenly couldn't get her shoes on fast enough, and what could have been a tearful standoff turned into thirty minutes of pure laughter, focused technique, and joyful violin playing.

That lesson is exactly why I built the Stringosaurus Hub. After 20 years in the studio trenches and sharing early childhood research at conferences like ESTA and AUSTA, I know the setup phase is the critical gatekeeper. Without a solid physical foundation, progress stalls, but constant technical nagging kills the magic in the room.

By shifting rigid technique into playful, imaginative stories, we secure those vital habits naturally. If you need fresh, studio-tested tools to rescue your sanity this term, the Hub has you covered:

• The Christmas Suite: Multi-level holiday tracks (like Dare to Dream Xmas and Knock Knock! Go Away!) mapped from day-one open strings to basic finger patterns. The holiday suite alone is worth the entire membership!
• Year-Round Play-Alongs: High-engagement audio and visual backing tracks that keep students in good posture effortlessly.
• Mini Teacher Tutorials: Bite-sized pedagogical walkthroughs breaking down early childhood setup step by step.

At $197 AUD per year (about $16 a month), everything is downloadable directly to your device for offline teaching in spotty practice rooms, keeping your prep effortless and your sanity intact.

Warmly,
Laura
