Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go...

It is very demoralizing that the more you practice playing Violin the further you feel from knowing how to play. On those days where the sound we are looking for seems like the Graal it is important to remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go...

Record yourself and you listen 3-6 months later, you'll be surprised how much you improved!
