I want to run the marathon hopefully with my mum and brother for an MS charity. A few years ago my mum was diagnosed with MS and therefore this is really important to us. Me and my brother are quite fit but will have to train a lot but most importantly getting mum ready to do it will be the hardest part. We will hopefully run it in 2010.

I have been playing the violin since I was 5, I’m now 14 and working towards grade 7. I don’t seem to have the technical accomplishment I should and get really dissapointed with public performances as always mess up, and never seem fully prepared no matter how much I practice. I have problems with nerves and it ruins my performance. I also have problems remembering scales, which lowers my mark in exams.
-How can I improve my overall playing?
-How can I sort out my nerves?
-How can I remember scales?
Any tips would be most appreciated.
