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

Average P-Time: 2:30

Things have been coming along nicely. Other than currently being stuck on a variation of an etude, third position is coming along nicely, I'm progressing nicely in Suzuki, vibrato is getting a 'little' better, and I've of course learned a bunch of new music.

My instructor has been off for the past couple weeks for either sickeness or holidays, but I have been pushing forward. Now that I'm in the middle of Suzuki II, I finally have the Brahms Waltz in structure anyway, and have moved on the the Handel Bouree following it, as well as the next picece to some extent.

I'm still very much in love with violin, which speaks volumes.
