It’s been a while since I’ve updated, but I’m still playing! In the interim I’ve gotten through Suzuki books 1 and 2 and am 3 songs into Book 3. Haven’t started vibrato or shifting yet, but it’s coming up soon. I’ve also continued with the string ensemble – we’re tackling Elgar’s Serenades for Strings right now – and have picked up a bit of Newfoundland fiddle from visits to the local “slow” session. Looking forward to the Atlantic Canada Suzuki Institute next month, where I’ll get five solid days of coaching in a quartet/chamber group.
