Wed 1 hour and 45 minute Practice Today

I was able to get in 1 hour and 45 minutes worth of violin practice today. I wanted to do more but had to work. I did the same routine as yesterday. I only worked on the Rondo Capriccioso today as well as the scales and Schradieck. I was having trouble today with the spiccatto bowing on the Rondo. I discovered that by loosening the hair it made the bow more flexible and easier on the up bow spicatto and sound controlled, not out of control like it was when I first started. I didn't think I had it tight before but strangely enough it was too tight for this particular bow. I'm learning! I'm still having trouble keeping the violin still while I move up on the G string to 5th and 6th position. Maybe I should take off the chinrest and see how it feels.

It feels so good to be practicing again. It's amazing how my other bow was holding me back. Since I got my new bow my level of playing has improved every day since I've had it. I'm in love with my new bow!!!

It was a good day!
