I used to be a pretty good Violinist (on an amateur level), but I haven't seriously practiced outside of lessons for probably a year now and it shows soooooo bad. And I keep trying to make an effort to get back into it but I somehow can't muster up practicing more than once a week at best even when I have plenty of time for it! I practiced today at least and maybe I'll be able to get myself to practice twice a week as a start?
#also my teacher is kinda bad NGL#I've been learning for six years at this point and I only know first and third position#like I should be able to play second#fourth and fifth position at this point#like I've played passages in those positions#I have the skills#but we just aren't consistently doing it during lessons#and they aren't that difficult#like I could teach them myself#but that would require consistent practicing#which we have established I struggle with#do not get me started on technique#I started teaching myself vibrato bc teacher won't do it#I got decent at#not great#but getting there#but that too has gotten rusty#and then the other techniques are kinda non-existent#I'm starting to learn whatever you call it when the bow is hopping while#play super fast#at least I can read notes now#it took me like three years#and I really struggle with reading very high notes#because again say it with me folks#lack of practice#sill talks about stuff#and you might be thinking wow maybe you should get a better teacher#you're probably right#but I like this woman okay
