A Monday Morning Lament
April 27, 2009 04:37
I've been practicing 1st and 3d postions rather diligently I would say for perhaps 5 months now. Still, I need those dang position markers (a.k.a.tape) on the finger board to accurately find the notes.
Every now and then my instructor will offer me her violin (sans markers) and I may do fairly well. I must say though that during home practice, I stink without them.
How long did it take you before the "training wheels" came off.
