Hello there! I decided to write this section in English ☺ I know my English is not that superb but I will try my best! I have been dreaming of this instrument since I was 9 years old. I was inspired by Vanessa Mae and also Sharon Corr.
I learned the violin when I was 19, yes, when I did my bachelor in Bandung. But then, I did not have time to practice since I was so busy so with the academics activities, final projects, continued with master program, (and surprisingly) PhD program, and. etc etc etc....
well, to make a long story short, (with A LOT of support from my husband), I decided to learn it again, at the age of 27. Ha!

Two weeks ago I rented a violin in Het Stikerhuis, and last Monday I had my very first lesson. I know there are so many tutorials on youtube but I think I need a teacher who teaches me the basics technique. I read somewhere that it is more difficult to correct a bad habit. So, better to learn the good one from the very start :) It was almost 9 years I didn't play so I assumed that I forget all of the things (and my assumption was right, haha).
So, what I learn this week :- how to hold the bow
- how to hold the violin
- how to play an open string
- how to play with 1st finger (only D and A string)
 |
| This is the book that I used for practicing, and it is included a CD to make practice easier :) |
Some exercises from my teacher this week:
- Bow hold exercises
- Song practice from Fiddle Time Joggers book page 4-10
It's not easy! but I'm so happy doing this ❤ Alhamdulillaah..
Wish me luck! ☺☺
