“I have both played with and known Cami for many years, and I have always been impressed with her deft ability and her disciplined and highly skilled violin technique. She is a supremely accomplished player. ”
“I first accompanied Cami when she was around 14 years old. I was impressed by her preparation, even at that young age. She was also respectful of her teacher and of me as her collaborator. I truly believe she was born with an innate passion for music. We played together all through her junior high and high school years and at BYU. It was a joy to see her progress into a mature and sensitive player. She has much to give the next generation of violinists.”
“Working with Cami Shaskin is, in many ways, the best of both worlds: she has the perfectionism of a professional, but the joie de vivre of an amateur; she can quickly amalgamate into an ensemble, but command as a soloist. Most importantly she is able to move past simply playing notes; she plays true music.”
“I loved Cami's recital I attended 10 years ago; that's when my respect for her playing was locked in! She is a wonderful player. I sure miss her!”
“Over the last couple of years, I've crossed paths many times with Cami. I've been very impressed with her knowledge and her extremely high skill level. She's one who always shows up prepared, on time, and ready to make professional music. Cami is always interested in the lives of those around her and is a good friend whom you can count on.”
“Cami is very bright, well organized, and self-motivated. She has a well-rounded education and background that would impress most.... My impression is that she can do almost anything, and do it well.”
“I've known Cami for many years. She is not only a talented violinist but a very hard worker and dedicated teacher. Cami is a pleasure to work with; she is honest in all her dealings and she is passionate about helping others achieve their goals.”
“Cami's strong writing skills illuminate her careful and creative thought about the systematic study of music teaching and learning. She has strong pedagogical knowledge and skills. Moreover, she is a person of impeccable character, and is someone whom I hold in extremely high personal regard.”
“Cami Shaskin is delightful. She loves others with sincerity, and builds community wherever she goes. She brings joy to the violin! I am so grateful to know her!”
“Cami is detail-oriented and utterly reliable. Often, after discussing that someone needs to be contacted, she quickly reaches out with a phone call or email. Her warm and friendly demeanor helps students to trust her corrections and instruction.
“I have also had the joyful experience of accompanying her violin solos. I love the flow of her musical phrasing and how sensitive she is in communicating through her music. She understands music intuitively but has a large amount of experience to pull from.”
“The way Cami writes immediately pulls me in and allows me to easily relate to her thoughts and experiences with music. Her blog contains a wealth of valuable ideas and knowledge for anyone looking for a place to learn more about the violin or just become more inspired to play! Highly recommend!”
“Excellent information! I was particularly interested in the tips about bow usage. As a cellist, I found Mrs. Shaskin's explanations refreshingly straightforward, succinct and very relevant to my own need for bowing strategies.”
