MoreFrom Wikipedia: Virginia Euwer Wolff (August 25, 1937 - ) is a prize-winning American author of children's literature.[1][2] Her award-winning series Make Lemonade features a 14-year-old girl named LaVaughn, who babysits for the children of a 17-year-old single mother. There are three books. The second, True Believer, won the 2001 National Book Award for Young People's Literature.[3]
Wolff was born in Portland, Oregon. She attended the girls' school St. Helen's Hall (now Oregon Episcopal School) and Smith College. She married Arthur Richard Wolff in 1959. They divorced in 1976. ~~~ The Mozart Season. 1st ed. New York: Holt, 1991. Award: 2011 Children's Literature Association Phoenix Award (presented annually to the author of a children's or young adult book, originally published in English twenty years earlier, that did not win a major award at the time of its publication) ~~~ The violin is a string instrument, usually with four strings tuned in perfect fifths. It is the smallest, highest-pitched member of the violin family of string instruments, which includes the viola, cello, and double bass. ~~~ The violin is sometimes informally called a fiddle, regardless of the type of music played on it. ~~~ The standard way of holding the violin is with the left side of the jaw resting on the chinrest of the violin, and supported by the left shoulder, often assisted by a shoulder rest (or a sponge and an elastic band for younger players who struggle with shoulder rests). This practice varies in some cultures; for instance, Indian (Carnatic and Hindustani) violinists play seated on the floor and rest the scroll of the instrument on the side of their foot. The strings may be sounded by drawing the hair of the bow across them (arco) or by plucking them (pizzicato). The left hand regulates the sounding length of the string by stopping it against the fingerboard with the fingertips, producing different pitches.
