Playing injuries
Has anyone got any specific tips or practices for avoiding injury (my left hand is getting sore...)? @Lotte Cutts already suggested doing some stretches before starting. Can't believe I've spent months making myself move into regular playing, now find it hard to resist picking up the violin, and now have to pull back a little. Hoping to use less playing time to create space for more listening and analysing, maybe voice stuff with intervals...a bit pissed though.

Had a ganglion cyst on my left wrist at conservatory.many times. Had to have it drained like 15 times(with the big needle...🫣🫣🫣🤣) Violin Is extremely anti-ergonomical instrument.every sore comes from spasm/stiffness...stretching, jumping up And Down,shaking it of...all these things help. Pain sucks, but eventually it leads to more body-awareness And more relaxation while playing. Bumped into some audio recording of yours cppl of days ago And i was flabbergasted. U've really made a big leap since u started------>Long practice can take Its toll on us, especially if we r not used to it.

Day 1 of the 5 Day Challenge!
It’s your first day! Congrats for taking the challenge. Comment “day 1” on this post so we can cheer you on and get cracking in the course in the classroom! In our first video lesson in the course we are looking at learning the melody to Lady Be Good by ear and committing it to memory, using it to bounce off of with some improv. Use this thread to ask any question or post your progress video when you have practised the steps in the video. Happy practising

This is your daily practise check in. Either: 1. Tell us what you practised in the comments 2. Post a video or audio recording of what you're working on 3. Ask a question about something you came up against in your practise Or if you just want to let us know you showed up, comment "HERE". Today's question: First one! Whats you main goal at the moment?

workin on Foggy day, trying to find new licks and new ways to play something interesting in general. lately i started applying one thing into my playing- once i learn something new and interesting(enclosure sequence or a lick) in a specific key, i immediately try to put it in some standart in the same key. seems to stick longer in my brain that way...

Daily Practise Check In
I'm trying something out. You might remember the single practice thread we've used in the past. Instead, there'll now be a new practice check-in post each day of the week, where you can let us know what you're up to. Just drop a comment with what you're working on today. It can be a sentence, a quick video, or even just a 🎻 to say you showed up. I'll be reading them all and cheering you on. Let's see how many days in a row we can keep it going! Let's start today! Il show you how in the comments. Matt.
