Another Tuesday, another violin lesson. Things seem to be progressing though, even though this was my third lesson. I can now bow all four strings with some competence, in both up and down bow movements. I’m also able to play B, E, C#, F#, G and D, which means I am now able to play a D major scale, albeit one octave. Fortunately, I didn’t have to do the exercises in the book which required one to draw a line of treble clefs, minims, crotchets and quavers. I might’ve gone slightly potty otherwise. Only downside to all of this is that my left shoulder is now killing me from being held in a rather unnatural position for an hour, which appears to be affecting my typing speed. Saying that, it’s a lot less painful then the football game yesterday where I managed to get a ball to my head twice, with quite considerable force applied. I did manage to score a few goals though, which is some consolation I guess.
