Well, been learning the violin for almost nine months now I think. I can now play all the major scales from G to D in two octaves, learnt E this evening, with just F to go. 🙂 Saying that, I still need to sort out arpeggios and minor scales, although the arpeggios sound a little scary. The other thing which needs work is speeding up my playing so I play stuff besides adagios! I think it’s getting there, but I occassionally end up with my fingers going faster than my brain and doing their own thing! Heigh ho. 🙂
