violin

This is a blog about my violin journey. It is also a place-keeper, so that in those clear moments when I can get a progress note on paper, I do so.

Practice Notes

Practice Log
Had a fairly decent night. Practiced a little less than two hours, maybe more. Got through the etude twice without stopping, with correct notes--I think. I set a goal to play the thing 10 times a day over the next couple weeks because of the beneficial effects on both my injury, general dexterity, necessary posture, and the fact that it brings so many 'elements' together. Did the Happy Farmer a few times, all minuets the same, got as far as I could remember on the Gavotte in that I haven't leared it all.

I ordered the next two suzuki volumes yesterday. It broke me, but I want to start getting them. Geezus, I love this instrument. It's embarassing.
