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.

born in the mountains, climbed the mountain, tilled the rocky soil, heard the song of the hollows, and learned the names of the stars on a cold clear winter night on my favorite ridge, 'everyman's' chapel.

Practice Notes

Practiced for an hour and a half. Played on the Frank Lees, and the old violin. Had a pretty good night--nothing phenomonal. Hit the etude2 against the wall, and discovered/ decided to go back and give all the basics in volume 1 a review using slowed down bowing--in lieu of last song in Volume 2--it's gonna take a lot of precision.

Got into heat therapy for the hand--it's been achy the past several days. Asprin--squeeze ball (nerf) this morning.
