About the Author

Mikhail A. Lobko is a native of Rubzovsk, USSR. He received his master's degree in violin performance and a teaching degree from the State Conservatory of Music in Minsk, Belorussia. This book is the third project published by the author. The first, The Violin Repertoire, cowritten with Slava Havkin, came out in the early 1980's, and for many years was used by music colleges across Belorussia. The second, The Methodical Notes, was published in 1999, and was rated as "An excellent pressentation" by the Midwest Book Review, The Bookwatch (Page 10, February 2000), and given a five-star reader review at Amazon.com. An educator for more than forty years, Mr. Lobko is the recipient of the "Medal of Honor" awarded by the International Center of Trade Organization States of the Council for Mutual Economic Aid. The author offers Concept and Study for the Violinist: The Lobko Method as a sequel to his previously published The Methodical Notes included in this volume.
