I've Wandered off the Track...

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 16:38:21 GMT

I am currently a college student, and this summer I have slacked...massively! & nbsp; I feel as if I deserve some type of excruciating beating for doing so. & nbsp; Though I haven't wandered away from the instrument, I have gotten wrapped up in the Irish-Celtic style of playing. & nbsp; But that's not what they ask of you in college.

We have also gotten a new violin teacher, so I have also felt that any effort put into my current technique books would be pointless. & nbsp;Which is part of the reason why I've been pushing practice away.

I guess, I'm & nbsp;asking for any advice on how to get back into the pattern I was once in. & nbsp; Back into the 4 hours worth of playing the instrument I love. & nbsp; Anything to help get me back on the right track would be much appreciated.
