I try not to think about this too much, but sometimes, I worry about not making progress. I worry about wasting time. I worry about not being enough. Sometimes when I do something, I think, is this really benefiting me? I ask myself, Do I really need to be doing this right now? Twenty one days into January, and I feel like progress is not on my side.
Kicked off my violin lessons yesterday (as you know) and it was good. The violin teacher's place is only a ten minutes' walk from my place. We had a talk about what I wanted to do, and he set me a piece and two scales of my choice for practice. I came home, put down my bags, changed and practiced for a bit. It was nice, but I also realised how tiring violin practice can be! The left arm, especially. Haha. It's nice to see music on a violin stand, again. And to know that I'm going to conquer it day by day, and eventually play it smoothly. It's a nice feeling.
