Unless I am mistaken, today was my 100th violin lesson.
The practice leading up to the lesson was good. I managed to practice scales each time and run through each of the four pieces I am working on right now. The pay-off for practicing only half of each piece paid off in todays lesson with marked improvement in Mango Walk and Farewell To Skye.
Not only that but Laura used music shorthand to show me how to play O Sole Mio (aka It's Now Or Never for you Elvis fans). Earlier in the day I asked if she would help me learn something romantic. Last year we spoke about that and Laura played this song. The key was changed to something I recognise and it sounds very cool.
Sirisha has found another Indian song she wants to learn. She passed a YouTube video on to Laura who wrote a score for her. It sounds lovely and evokes India very well. It is a song Sirisha knew as a child so it is somewhat sentimental too.
OMG. That's it. Is this really Szechuan Sage writing this? Where's the rest of it?
Yup. This is it. Happy centennial lesson with hopefully many more to come.
