I am
LOOOOOOVING my lessons. I was taught so incredibly wrong growing up. well maybe I wasn't taught wrong but I wasn't taught right either. I hold my violin wrong, my thumb is in the wrong place. my bow hand has amazing skill that I never knew it had because I wasn't holding my bow right! grrrr. so now I get to re-train myself. what fun. I have much to work on. I am doing scales and learning how to play in 2nd and 3rd position. I was never able to in school because our orchestra was so small that we had 1 girl who played all of that stuff and I got stuck with the 2nd and 3rd violin pieces. Those were the easy easy ones. I never complained though because that meant less practicing for me. SCORE. So things I am working on this week
- Holding my bow correctly
- Keeping my thumb lower on the kneck
- Bringing the thumb along to 2nd and 3rd position
- G and D scales
The half hour lesson FLEW by. I couldn't believe it. My teacher, Christi Porter is amazing. She is a teacher for a middle school and a ton of fun. I also loves that she compliments my musical ability a million times in a lesson. She better since I am paying her to. haha
peace.
