At long last

Today, I had my first violin lesson since July. Keadron was a little unhappy with both my left & right hand technique and assigned remedial exercises. I suppose that the fiddling has changed the way I play, particularly as fiddle bowing is lighter and quicker than on the classical violin.

I did not explain to her that my arm still hurts some when I try to play. Instead, I will do the best I can to improve in spite of the pain. The main damage to my left arm before was a pinched or "pinged" nerve and I have about 85% use of my left hand now, enough to play a little.

In any event, it is wonderful to feel the vibration of the fiddle on my shoulder once again.
