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.

Lesson Night

We worked on the etude, some remedial 4th finger exercises for strength and dexterity. Next Monday, I'm suppose to check out another violin. Played a little on the etude, making the proclamation that I'm not letting the one little phrase that has become a stumbling block because of the injury/4th finger hold me back any longer--I'm already two pieces deep in volume 2 anyway; and, the problem child phrase is coming online albeit slowly.
