Well, I had my first violin lesson at Luther today. I am going to do the entire de Bariot Concerto. I was hoping she would change her mind and have me do the Bruch but oh well, small steps I guess. She said she would assign some solo Bach in the coming 2 weeks or so. She also said that I will be learning all of the Kreutzer Etudes reguardless of if I can already do the technique, she wants to do this since I am going to be a teacher, that way I will have familiarity with every etude in the book. We will also eventually do some Kriesler. Lastly, of course I will be doing scales.

The decision between violin or viola will be a difficult one. So far I like both teachers so it will be most difficult to choose. I guess it will just depend on which instrument I choose.
