Lesson Night

violin
Tonight, we worked on the etude, moving to 3rd position, general bowing, and talked about the semantics of 3rd position. I'm coming along but have reached a point with the etude for example, as well as 3rd position, that are very important because of my injury. The general bowing issues are related to my over-enthusiasm and bad habits. Basically, I need to slow down for another month and hammer home the mechanics of 'each and every' note. Even though I'm learning 3rd, vibrato, and so forth, I am at one of those points that will make a clean vibrant player versus a messy though perhaps instinctive player. The purpose in spending all this money is not, to be messy.
