Tonight was my first violin class. I have been trying to learn how to play the fiddle, and finally broke down and signed up for a group class of introductory lessons on the violin. Over the next few weeks, I will be adding to this log of my experience and (hopefully) advancement in playing the fiddle. This was a good decision! The first thing I learned is that I definitly will be purchasing a shoulder rest. The instructor allowed me to try hers on my instument, and I discovered that it is a great help in holding the fiddle properly under the chin. My biggest weakness is my left wrist. It wants to flex to allow the neck of the fiddle to rest in the palm of my hand. So that is my practice target for this week.
