I finally got to move on to the next lesson. I am now working on Jingle Bells and My Dredyl. It feels good to have accomplished a little bit and move on to the next lessons.

I learned quite a bit in the last lesson about bow hold and using the fore finger and pinky to counter balance the bow on the down and up strokes. That's the focus of my technique practice this week.

I've got a fairly hug callas on my left index finger now, about 1/4 of inch. Seemed cool at first, but is a little distressing now. :)
