The Violin Chronicles Continues...

It's been one week since I have been able to pick up and play my violin. Finally got to start bowing last week, then had to put off playing because of surgery (wisdom teeth out:() When I picked it up again today, I remembered how HARD it is to bow at the beginning...oy!! I practiced open strings, particularly D and A for about an hour, focusing on moving my lower arm/elbow and just getting a feeling for the bow. I spent a few minutes on playing "G" on the D string, but my goodness, this is difficult! I finally had to huff in frustration after an hour, pack it up, and treat myself to some pie and tea!!! But....I still love it and can't wait to beat this bow!
