Rejoice and exult in hope; be steadfast and patient in suffering and tribulation; be constant in prayer.

Getting better...

We actually didn't learn anything new yesterday in our violin lessons, but all the review was very helpful! I have never been a "practice at home" kind of person (just ask my parents...they were always on my case about practicing piano and oboe when I was younger), so it was good for me to actually keep working on the things we learned while in class. But, since my violin is a rental, I need to take advantage of the time that I have it and play at home, too! Not sure how Norman will feel about that.

I did feel like a real violin player yesterday because we were continuing to bow, and on different strings! And we learned how to move from string to string silently (ok I lied, we did learn something new). B really is a great teacher. I feel like I am forming correct habits right from the start. I am enjoying myself a lot. But I always get so sore (my shoulders and neck get such a workout), so I'd better start playing more!

That's good that you guys got to review in your class. I was never that good at "at home practicing" when I was little either. :-) That's very cool that you learned to move between strings silently. You will be playing like a pro before you know it!

That is great! We are missing you at Bible study though. I am glad that you are enjoying yourself. See you Sunday!

Glad you're having fun!! I have to agree...I didn't enjoy the practicing at home thing either! I took piano for 6 years and can't play anything!! I hated to practice! :)
