My third lesson with my new violin teacher was today. I figure, keeping a blog on each weeks lesson would be a good way to track my progress, and in the future, it will be good to go back and look.

Today, my teacher had the following pieces for me to work on, for technique and tone production. "Sicilienne and Rigaudon" by Fritz Kreisler. Traumerei by Schumann. Ave Maria by Bach. Hungarian Dance No. 5 by Brahms. Air for the G string by Bach. Melody in F by Rubinstein. Cripple Creek, which is a lively fiddle tune that seems like it will be fun to play. I am supposed to work on as much of these as I can, and also keep working on my etudes, Flesch Scales and Arpeggios. Things are going well.
