“Bubbling and crackling with mischief”
Fun is the starting point of a new illustrated music tutor called “Michaela’s Music House”. Based around the musical adventures of the eponymous four-year-old Michaela, its pages fairly bubble and crackle with mischief.

“Imaginative, full of magical ideas”
Michaela's Music House is a beautiful publication, full of colour, pictures, games, musical examples and photos of young musicians. The stories are imaginative and full of magical ideas, and the descriptions of lessons are loving and child-centred.
The book possesses a wonderful energy, allied to a certain naivety that hints at a world beyond run-of-the-mill experience, and definitely outside usual conventions.

“Thank you so much Gwendolyn Masin”
This book is an invaluable reference when lateral thinking is required to develop or indeed improve the physical posture. Thank you so much Gwendolyn Masin.

“Remarkable”
Gwendolyn Masin's detailed exposition of teaching methods is remarkable in light of her youth.
(Anne-Sophie Mutter, violinist)
“Inspirierend und amüsant”
Selten, wenn überhaupt je zuvor, habe ich ein derart kompetentes wie gleichermaßen inspirierendes und amüsantes Buch darüber gelesen, wie Kinder das Violinspiel erlernen. Michaela's Music House sei mit Nachdruck empfohlen!
(üben & musizieren Schott Verlag)
“Voller echter Poesie”
Die Geschichten sind voller echter Poesie. Meisterhaft instruktiv sind die zahlreichen Fotos der Schüler in allen beschriebenen Positionen. Eine Fortsetzung in einem zweiten Band wäre wünschenswert und spannend!
(Schweizer Musikzeitung)
“Unique”
A unique way of teaching violin to young people.
(The Irish Times, Music in the Classroom)
“Goodbye at last to dull, old violin primers”
Masin’s violin manual is a hit for aspiring child stars. Could this be goodbye at last to dull, old violin primers? Even those who know nothing about the violin will find themselves drawn in to Michaela’s musical journey.
