@stringy I always strive to my best! ^_^ I really enjoy art deco as well along with 1800s interior design, which is what I base my office on. That’s awesome that you two went to Burcharest, hope you enjoyed the trip, and saw some neat sights.

@Mark  @Mouse   Thanks, I had a great time on vacation! I do feel very comfortable playing my violin, I love playing on it and can’t wait until I can play it to its fullest potential, especially with the warm sounds of the lower registers.

@ELCBK   I hope so too! So far I’ve had one lesson with them, but so far they seem very structured in their teaching and they seem very knowledgeable. I have my next lesson with them tomorrow, so we’ll see how it goes!

Here’s video 4 on 8/1/2023 ‘The Two Grenadiers again’.  Today’s was making sure I get the bowing pattern down correctly and trying to improve sound quality a little. Tomorrow, before next lesson I’m hoping to improve on bowing (I have a tendency to not go near the frog) and dynamics!
