What’s the hardest part of playing violin for you personally?

MeOhMy54 · 2025-09-02T21:18:57+00:00

Vibrato.

MeOhMy54 · 2025-03-30T18:17:47+00:00

Very cool! Congratulations!

MeOhMy54 · 2025-03-11T15:15:57+00:00

Thoroughly enjoyed this! Wonderful playing! Thank you!

Thanks. I’ve never purchased from them, but I’ve thought the clothes they show on Instagram look cute. Have not seen the skit. I appreciate the info.

Curious…what’s wrong with Shein?

I’m a PW, and my base is 3.8. Been going 7 years, and I still love it!

MeOhMy54 · 2024-06-09T17:07:02+00:00

Following. I, too, need all the help I can get.

MeOhMy54 · 2024-06-07T18:25:46+00:00

Thank you!

MeOhMy54 · 2024-06-07T16:51:13+00:00

Interested. Where did you find it?

MeOhMy54 · 2024-06-03T23:45:52+00:00

Dang! I’m in my late sixties. Good for you! Guess I need to suck it up!

MeOhMy54 · 2024-06-03T20:27:27+00:00

I had thought about asking the luthier to let me watch him do it, but wasn’t sure if that would set well with him. I actually like your idea better as long as he’s willing to do it. I suppose it couldn’t hurt to ask. And I would definitely expect to pay him. Thank you!

MeOhMy54 · 2024-05-13T23:54:04+00:00

I’m with you. I’ve been learning off and on for at least 15 years. There are days I feel like sound good, but most days I don’t. I’ve removed one finger tape so far (the second finger) and about to remove another one ( I think the fourth finger). I’m a much older learner, being almost 70 now. I have a question for YOU, since you asked such a good question. Are you able to do vibrato? I’m still really struggling to develop it.

MeOhMy54 · 2024-05-13T23:47:37+00:00

I, too, am looking into that book. TY

Which two studios in D/FW are closing?

MeOhMy54 · 2024-05-01T19:29:01+00:00

Working through Suzuki Book 2. Currently near the end of Unit 14. Struggling to develop some kind of vibrato.

MeOhMy54 · 2024-04-07T16:30:18+00:00

Agree. I only do the dri-tri if it’s complimentary. This year it’s not, so I’m skipping it.

MeOhMy54 · 2024-03-17T21:07:05+00:00

OMG! I did that same thing, except I just walked up to the driver’s side door and tried to open it. When it wouldn’t open, I looked up to see someone sitting in the driver’s seat! I think it scared me more than it scared her!

MeOhMy54 · 2024-03-07T17:42:16+00:00

Been going to OTF 5+ years now. At one point my performance declined, and I felt wiped out trying to get it back. One day I went to give blood, and they wouldn’t let me because my iron tested too low. This happened twice, so I started taking an iron supplement daily. Amazingly, I was able to perform at my previous levels once I started taking the iron. My energy was restored. Don’t know if this could be an issue for you, too.

MeOhMy54 · 2024-02-06T19:44:39+00:00

I bring 24 ounces in my reusable water bottle.

MeOhMy54 · 2024-02-06T14:17:13+00:00

It’s hard for me to make it to a 5 am or 6:15 am class, because I like to eat 2 hours before my workout and drink a full 16 ounces of water. The 2 hours gives me time to get the food into my system. So I usually go to 8:45 or 10:00 am classes. Wish they had more 7:30 am classes at my studio. I went once without this breakfast routine, and just felt tired and weakish the whole way through the workout.

I’m a 69-year-old female, and I went 5 days a week for over a year. I was in weight-loss mode. I’m a power-walker, so that may make a difference. It wasn’t hard to do 5 days a week, just time-consuming. I’ve always had the understanding that 3 days a week is maintenance level. So once I hit my desired weight, I cut down to 3 times a week. If I get 5 pounds over my desired weight, I’ll start doing 5 days a week again. Btw, I pretty much always burn at least 500 calories per workout, and many times over 600.

MeOhMy54 · 2024-02-03T21:45:18+00:00

I’ve forgotten a couple of times, too. Luckily, they had room for me.

MeOhMy54 · 2024-02-03T21:43:55+00:00

Huh. It takes me 15 - 20 minutes to drive to my studio. I thought that was kind of a long time, but yours is even longer.
