It's truly amazing how much change there has been in my playing in the last few months. When I first looked at Vivaldi's Four Seasons, I started laughing out loud because I really thought it was not just above me, but more like it was soaring through the atmosphere. I have been diligent and now I can get completely through Spring and the other seasons are coming along nicely. Since I don't want to get bored, I also started Massenet's Meditation from Thais and Mozart's Concerto No. 3 in G major K216. Both of them sound pretty good. I'm actually getting delusional ans starting to think I may audition at our local semi-professional orchestra, because, why not?

The internet is such an amazing source for the musician. I had no idea how much it would help. I have gotten great advice and found so much sheet music that I may never have tried out if it weren't for the web. Some is free and I paid for some, too. Before I did a search on the internet for music I was pretty much just stuck with my old Suzuki books and small amounts of sheet music from my old orchestra (photo copies, of course.) I just wish I had the internet when I was in high school! I may have ended up majoring in music then!
