music lesson
May. 11th, 2007 11:11 amStill can't hear for some reason. I was consistently flat all evening -- but we played a bunch of duets and worked on hand position again. I got a new lesson to try for holding my violin...
get this: 1st finger, f-sharp on the E string, 2nd finger, c-sharp on A, third finger, G on the D string, 4th finger, D on the G string. Now push all four strings down hard like you were gonna play them, and wriggle your thumb.
I almost dropped my violin doing that one. but it forces your hand into the right position.
the other good news is that he's finding some violin / viola solos -- we did a little of a Mozart one that was really lovely. Off to search the Werner Icking site tonite to find it. (So if a certain violist out there who may be reading this sees, we should definately talk! :) )
1. pick up wood violin this weekend
2. get a metronome
3. play more. :)
