Today's deal at Groupon had the following offer - $22 for four or $45 for eight 45 min music lessons at Asia Music School in 2 locations (worth up to $620).
I have nothing against the deal. But what irked me was their advertising pictures.
A perfect example of how NOT to place your hands when playing the piano. |
Her violin position is almost painful to look at. |
This is even more laughable. While I am not a violinist, I do play the cello and I have played in an orchestra many times, so I do have a certain degree of familiarity with string instruments. Firstly, she is holding the bow wrongly. Her fingers look as if she is about to cut a piece of steak with a knife. Secondly, what is the bow doing at around 45 degrees across the violin? The bow should be almost perpendicular to the violin. And thirdly, what's with that chicken-wing-like thrust-up elbow?
Dear Asia Music School, with this kind of advertising, I would never recommend anyone to sign up with your school. I doubt your teaching capabilities if you don't even know that these positions are wrong. Or could it be due to ignorance from your marketing department? Either way, you fail.
