Hey, I have to be honest, I am really nervous about this feature. Every Sunday I am going to share a video documenting my progress in improving my technique and quality of sound on the violin. I only hope that you are all kind about what I am posting as I'm hoping to encourage myself and others to practise their skill daily and to learn something new. Let's create a community of supportive and encouraging people

I can't wait for you to see this! This week has resulted in only 4 days of violin practise due to other work commitments but I am so pleased with the progress I have made in those 4 days Share what you're learning.

Watch until the end for an interesting fact about Bach and for a practice tip that will change your life. It's been an exciting week...I met my hero, the incredible Maxim Vengerov.
