I was the demonstrator for them. - DID NOT buy a violin!!! Instead donated the money to a worthy cause. - attended two violin concerts: Lindsay Deutsch (Jan), and Bin Huang/Nan Xie (Oct). - introduced two adult students to my teacher's studio - had a lesson in scraping from luthier Claudio Rampini For 2008, I hope to: - memorize the first movement of Beethoven Violin concerto - learn Lalo Symphonie Espagnole - learn two more movements in Bach Solo Sonatas and Partitas - practice and memorize more effectively by breaking into small segments - improve my bowing arm and sound production - motivate another person to play violin at my church so I'm not the solo violinist all the time - more regular practice schedule
