Hi, everyone.

Today it's been one month since I started playing the violin again. Not long, I know. I didn't remember how good it feels to play this incredible instrument. I think I've made good progress so far, but I think I have a different mind now (I mean, different than it was when I was younger and played the violin). I now know what I want, the tone I want, the importance of intonation. I didn't really know before what I wanted and was not very aware about important aspects of violin playing (like intonation, as I said before, string crossing and so on).

I thought that if I could play the entire piece or etude without stopping, even with mistakes, it was enough. It's not anymore. I'm happy I started playing again.
