I only accept a few gigs now and then, so word of mouth seems to be fine for me and keeps me busy. You have to get out there and network, which I find to be the best way (if you aren't a full time musician). People are always happy to know anyone ...
Let's talk about the music we play
This is a discussion group for violinists
On my own.Knowing various type of people i guess,as well as Sarah..

John Thornton said… - Thank you, Adam! I love what you are doing to unselfishly promulgate awareness of stringed instruments, their makers, and most importantly those who play them - especially the violin. A totally new "Violin Society" is the best way to do that. Congratulations!
