Finally got to have a lesson today, after seven weeks. That's right. Seven weeks. Mein Gott. The little I learnt in those weeks pales in comparison to what a good teacher can communicate in 30 minutes.

I've to work on my scales more and to put more power and volume into my bow-work. Also, need to 'anchor' my first finger properly, develop my timing and reread my scale/key-signature theory. This should consume time for the next while.

Irish Violinist Michael d'Arcy is playing in the National Concert Hall tomorrow lunchtime. I might go to that. And can anyone recommend a brand or two of strings, although I've heard good things about Thomastik strings, and a good mechanical metronome?
