I just got back from church and the music director said that another member plays the flute, and he was thinking of having a selection of Pachebel's Canon sometime for special music. I'll ask next time for whether he had the score or not, and start practicing.

Yesterday was a good practicing day as I was able to get in several sessions in between laundry, cooking and housework. I would practice about 20 minutes, put the violin away and do something else and then come back to it after a few hours. I'm still getting used to the new bowing hand position and paying special attention to my left hand and wrist (keeping it straight). Since I'm using the microscopic practice method (playing only the areas that I have problems with), I was able to work slowly and not worry about playing a piece through.
