Cool, well done!  Good intonation.   Yeah - took me a while to get away from the death-grip on the neck ( well, I exaggerate - but I did nestle the neck in the palm of my hand ).  You're doing great !  thumbs-up

I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh - guntohead.JPG

Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

WOW !  Thank you very much  Mr. Fiddlerman ( @Fiddlerman )

I was so happy to realize that I had the Susuki 1 recordings, and to find the book here in Belize !!!!   This is my birthday month, so--- most of my practice is all about fun :)

I "kinda" gave a concert for a few friends, and actually all of them were pretty impressed.  To be fair tho- most had not heard anything since the destruction of "happy birthday" my first month of playing-  I still can't play it !!  LOL

It's been a year, and I still love it !!

I am coming up on 15 months with a violin- I figure I have missed 3 months of practice since I started.  This might very well be my one year anniversary day.  I believe I have actually done really well so far.  The thing that troubles me the most is- when I go for a couple days without touching my violin, the practice I have is actually spectacular !!  SERIOUSLY !!

I do not have proper recording instruments (I'm serious- not even close), and I know my practice sessions are against the law, but I carry on........  I also know that my next video will be live.

Just saying, HEY !

I am still here, and someone that lives right down the street brought an older violin to the village, and OUR violins are a PERFECT harmony==  something really awesome is happening !

I have Minuet #1 memorized enough to play....... moving on soon.  (I remember a day when I first started, I thought memorizing a piece was the hardest thing I had done in years, and I thought it was impossible !!!!!

I am still in the game !!!

 

THANKS !!!!

Thanks, @damfino -

I do kick myself for not finding the time to practice- it really is ridiculous, but I am also an expert at not being too hard on myself.   :)

I am doing well, someday, I will do even better !  (maybe even starting today !)

:) you are too kind, Mr. Fiddlerman @Fiddlerman - but you are right !!  LOL

I have memorized Greensleves as well (mostly)-  my mom said (over the phone)- well, honey, you made a mistake in the beginning........  LOL- She's so cute sometimes.

considering all things, I'm doing well !!
