Today I sat down to practice and couldn't do a thing. I get these days where my fingers are all in the wrong place, my tone sounds scratchy and I keep moving off the sounding point, what is wrong with me? I feel like throwing the violin and screaming, truly!!
But other than that my day was good. My english teacher who is a former violinist gave me money to start saving to go to the new walt disney concert hall. But I probably won't seeing that for about a year because all the shows are sold out, my goodness. I don't know when it comes to the violin life is confusing, but bliss. Tomorrow is my lesson and I'm messing up on the piece I'm supposed to be playing, how great! All this week I've been doing excellent, it sounded great but now I sound like a screeching rat, somebody explain why before my lessons when I can impress my teacher, I start to mees up, confusing.
