Violin

Well, this week has been the same as any other week, I do pretty well during pracitces, but when I get up in front of people the stupid bats and churn my little tummy and I really can't concentrate and I forget the notes, which makes me worried for spring concert which is in less then two weeks. I know we are playing in a group but if someone isn't playing, or someone is really horrible, they will hear or see it.
Anyways, I think I've got my eyebrows down so they don't look so funny, and reading notes is becoming a lot easier for me so playing songs become easier and yeah, it's just fantastic.

Bowing

So, I have troubles with my bow and making it play the right note, sometimes it’s on the wrong string and then I play on a very awkward angle and it makes a screeching sound and then I try and correct myself and completely lose where I am and it takes a lot of practice to actually be able to play the songs. I hate fourth finger, it is very difficult to stretch the pinky that far and hit the right note. But things are getting a tiddle bit better with reading notes, I can completely recognize the G string and almost all of the A.

Intorduction

Well, one thing that I am looking forward to is actually being able to play the violin, because I really like the violin but have absolutely no idea what I am doing, but I suppose that's why I took stings class in the first place, to learn how to play the violin. Something that probably gets me though is the fact that I can't really read notes and have to think really hard about what I'm playing and concentrate on the note I'm playing with my bow and then there's the fact that I really try and concentrate on my arm and make sure in it's in the right position. So all these things going on in my head doesn't really work out to well.  So I plan to practice at least two and a half a week and yeah.
