Linzi Encourages kids to take up the violin
Lovely article. Here are Linzi's top tips:
« Feng Shui Solutions to Life ProblemsMy Roman Dog Mosaic Now Finished - Here’s a Photo »World-Class Electric Violin Player Linzi Stoppard Encourages Kids to Take Up the Violin
At age twenty-nine, British electric violinist Linzi Stoppard gives electrifying performances of Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings, which seems to be her signature piece at most performances. Even more amazing, this beautiful woman prances around the stage, rock concert style, wearing high heels and classy designer costumes. When I looked up information on her, I found she is also a professional model. Videos on YouTube feature her performances in the music capitals of Europe. If Samuel Barber were alive today, I’d love to see his reaction to her interpretation.
In this performance, she rocks Adagio for Strings on the electric violin, in London (2:56):
Here is how audiences react to her, this performance filmed at the Alexandra Palace, also in London (just like a rock concert):
Linzi also performs for schoolchildren, at their elementary schools, and inspires them to take up the violin. Here is her advice:
“The electric violin can be a real alternative to the commonplace guitar. “
She recommends five steps for young people interested in the electric violin. “My five steps are:
1.) Buy yourself a starter electric violin and amp combo from Ebay. check that it works, if you can.
2.) Learn the basics, such as scales, and bowing techniques, from a couple of How to Play the Violin books, and DVD’s.
3.) Sign up through a local college for some group violin lessons, and mix with like-minded people.
4.) Use your musical influences to experiment and develop your own sounds.
5.) Never stop believing in yourself, and take every opportunity to get out thee, and play live. If I can do it, you can!”

More on the band FUSE
Linzi was looking for a collaborator to help bring her vision and sound to life. Her manager (and husband) Will put the word out to a few of his old music clients and was quickly directed to one of Ben’s bands who had played a session for a producer Will used to manage.
The violinists met and the bond was instant - not only did Linzi and Ben share a limitless imagination, their musicianship and look complimented each other as well. Ben’s portable studio was another crucial element Will needed to realise their potential - they could record their ideas and sessions anywhere and at any time. In the autumn of 2007 FUSE, the electric violin duo was formed and they got to work immediately.

More on Linzi in Lindt
Women with a sweet tooth should look away now. A designer to the stars has created the ultimate Christmas party dress for chocoholics...made from 1,000 luxury chocolate balls. (read all about it and see the pics at the daily mail...)
Lindka Cierach, who designed the Duchess of York's wedding dress, said her new design took several weeks of planning, and is made from 79,000 calories worth of Lindt chocolate balls and crystals.
"The Lindor Dress is the ultimate party dress that you can unwrap and indulge in," she said.
But the dress would be an expensive sweet treat. The bespoke gown would set you back £3,500.
The award-winning designer chose electric rock violinist Linzi Stoppard (daughter-in-law of playwright Sir Tom Stoppard) to launch the dress. Lindka said: "Linzi is an ideal choice - she is talented, beautiful and a fellow chocoholic."
A spokesman for Swiss chocolatier said: "We have never had a dress made from our chocolate anywhere in the world before, and as Lindor is very popular with females in particular, we feel it's very appropriate."

Linzi plays for Hugh Hefner's 80th
Article from the Telegraph:
By Jonathan Isaby
Linzi's luck
Her musical performance at Hugh Hefner's recent 80th birthday party in Cannes was said to be the icing on his birthday cake. But I hear that violinist Linzi Stoppard is making other creative inroads.
The daughter-in-law of playwright Tom Stoppard has secured her first role on the silver screen. "I met the director Stephen L'Heureux after I performed at Hugh's party and he offered me a cameo role in his next film," she tells me.
"I'm excited, as he's worked on some big films. He asked if I'd ever tried acting; I said no, but that I'd love to give it a go, and he offered me a part. It looks as if I'll be filmed playing the violin in a club scene."
