Tonight the instructor helped me figure out that I need to get more down-pressure on my bow to stop the bouncing. We had a discussion about whether I need more or less tension on the frog. I am going to try more tension for a while and see if that helps. We also reviewed the past lessons, then she handed out a version of "Ode to Joy" and started with some theory. Basically, the sheet had finger numbers, and we went over what strings they were meant to be played on. That, along with a quick introduction to note times (whole, half, etc.) comprised the theory section. Next week is the final session, and I guess we will be doing a "mini recital" of the tunes and bowing patterns we have learned. I will kind of be glad that the class is over, I think I am beyond what she is presenting, but I am glad I took it. I will work on my own for awhile, and then think of finding an instructor for occassional lessons. I also will try to find the closest OT Fiddlers' group and many play with them some. One more class, I gotta get to practicing!
