Ok, this is my 2 month and 3 week recap. I have been quite busy and didn't have time to update. I have been working on a few new songs and also reviewing old ones. Here is the full repertoire of songs I can play:
My complete repertoire:
1. Twinkle, Twinkle (and variations)
2. French Folk Song
3. Drunken Sailor
4. Song of the Wind
5. May Song
6. Saints Go Marching In
7. Ode to Joy
8. Aura Lee
9. Can Can
10. Flop Eared Mule
11. Blow The Man Down
I have been working on improving a few different things that have been bothering me. The E string was my arch nemesis for a long time. It always sounded so
screechy and I absolutely hated the sound of it! Therefore, I worked on
improving the sound of my E string and am pleased to say that it sounds
much better now. I think it's my favorite sounding string now. I now love
playing songs that involve the use of the E string.
In addition to this I have also been working on my tone. Tone is something that I have always been very OCD about so I'm still trying to find the sweet spot for the bow and straighten my bow. My bow is all over the place. I watch myself in the mirror to make sure it's straight and as soon as I stop looking I know that it starts to get crooked. The bowing doesn't feel any different to me whether it's straight or not, which makes it hard to know if I'm doing it correctly or not when I am not looking in the mirror. Hopefully it'll click in my brain at some point. Guess I just have to keep trying.
