would violin institute be instituto violin or instituto de violin?

Question

This is for a novel I'm writing in which there is an (18th Century) provincial boarding house where the music master (El Maestro) teaches violin. I want it to sound rather grand even though it isn't that big to express the teacher's opinion of himself and his institute. Thanks

Answer 1

Yo estudiaba el violin con El Gran Maestro, Senor Violin, en el Instituo de Violin, ubicada en Madrid.

Answer 2

Yo estudiaba el violín con el gran maestro, señor Violín, en el Instituto de Violín, ubicado en Madrid.

Answer 3

I wrote that in that style with purpose. The teacher isn't the teacher....he's The Teacher. He's not some random senor, he's El Señor Violin.

I think it's important to use proper puntuation (tildes, ñ, etc.) when replying to people who are just learning Spanish. Otherwise, they'll be confused as to which style is correct Spanish. - --Mariana--, SEP 11, 2009

People look to you for correct answers because you are a native speaker. - --Mariana--, SEP 11, 2009

I'm sorry, Juan, but I still believe that is not right, and the n is still ñ, and the tildes are still missing. - 00e657d4, SEP 11, 2009

Answer 4

I'm just lazy right now. I broke my foot last week, my head is hurting, the dogs are running...and worst of all my wife isn't here to make it all better!!! I suspect it's easy to make them with the number pad...I just haven't tried it yet.

As Guillermo says: the letters and accents are located at the bottom of the box where you type in your post. You don't need to install or do anything special - just click the letter you want and it appears in your text. - --Mariana--, SEP 11, 2009

Answer 5

Yo no se como hacer esa cosa con mi tecla. Voy a bajar una progamma que puedo usar aqui.

After all those posts on how to install the international keyboard on laptops!!! And with your knowledge of computers!!! I"m shocked!! ;-) - --Mariana--, SEP 11, 2009

Just click on the letters at the bottom of the answer box. - 00e657d4, SEP 11, 2009

D'oh...I fogot about those! See, Chris, you have no excuses now not to type your accents and use the ñ - --Mariana--, SEP 11, 2009
