Good
I just had a great lesson. I understand spiccato bowing now, and apparently I was already good at it, and I understand how to have strength in my sound while having a good bow path! For those non-string players, these are good things!
Bad
I still haven’t found a new violin, nor have I sold my current violin. Sigh. I think I will have to go back to that one shop and see if they still have the french violin that I really liked…
Ugly
No motivation! I know it’s part of the depression, but I feel kinda lazy. I never feel like doing much, and it is hard to make myself practice. I have just one short month or so until my next recital, and I NEED to get my butt in gear. I trying to give myself very specific, daily goals to achieve this, but it’s not always going well… I am going to set up some practicing dates with friends, but other than that, do you have any suggestions to help me get off my butt?
