Well a few weeks have passed since my last entry,thought it was about time l updated it.Lessons are going well,still only basic stuff but finally starting to see some progress,actually starting to hear tunes now which l did'nt think would be at all possible!First and second finger now pretty much mastered,just need to speed it up abit my teacher reckons,gettinjg there slowly,one of the other members to violinist.com said that all the confusion will fall away like warm summer rain once we started lessons and it has,l thank all the people out there for their support in the early stages it made the learning process a whole lot easier,and gave us more confidence to go and learn a new instrument,anyway having fun and learning heaps although playing with a sore shoulder and bowing arm l found out is'nt much of a joy,to much firewood collecting ready for winter,practising approx half hour a day,teacher says thats enough to start off with,but not really finding it enough seem to just keep going and when l look at the time it's usually been an hour,don't even realise l'm doing it!Guess that means l'm enjoying myself,well signing off for now things to do.
