30/365: Violin Practice

I have violin lessons on Tuesdays, and I hate to go into them "cold", so I made sure I practiced this afternoon. I haven't been as consistent with my playing since December, due to holidays and an erratic lesson schedule. Now that I've settled into a regular lesson schedule, I'll find time to play every day.



I started playing in 3rd grade and took a 22 year "sabbatical" starting in college. I did retain my basic skills, but I'm sure my fingers were much faster in 1986. But not a big deal - I still enjoy the process of creating music through my violin again.

JUST STUNNING. I love the perspective, color, and crop you decided to go with on this photo. The curves of the violin are gorgeous.

So awesome that you play violin!! Such a beautiful instrument! Love your cropping and the colors of your shot!

Beautiful. I am always jealous of people with some kind of muscial talent. I love music but am not musical in anyway.
