Bless Ottokar Ševčík and his neurodiverse little soul. Sometimes I really do want just a crap ton of different picky bow exercises to wake up my right hand & arm

If your left hand feels tired, check your thumb. It should be flexible with the joint bent. Loosen it up and let your fingers dance. 🎶 #ViolinLife

Bach’s E Major Sonata was frying my brain—especially m. 33–34 (all sharps!). 🎻 Tried every fingering, finally landed on 3rd position. Just 10 mins a day, and it's clicking. Micro movements work. Stay curious, not frustrated! #violinlife #Bach #microwins

Another Newberry Chamber Orchestra concert at the Newberry Opera House in the books!
We had so much fun playing Mendelssohn and Beethoven with Anastasia Petrunina as our amazing soloist. Thank goodness for a great stand partner and good old propranolol. 🎻🎶❤️

🎻 I’ve played violin for 51 years, and it still feels new. I fall in love again by learning fresh music, exploring new styles, and staying curious. Progress isn’t about perfection. It’s about fun! #ViolinLife #LifelongLearning #GrowthMindset #MusicEducation

The hardest thing to learn on violin? Not shifting or vibrato. It’s a correct bow hold. It controls tone, phrasing, expression, everything. Small adjustments here = huge results. Don’t underestimate the bow hand. #ViolinLife #BowHold #MusicEducation

🎻 Practice myth I’d love to retire: You don’t need hours.
15–20 focused minutes on one tricky phrase = real progress.
Small, smart steps > marathon frustration.
If you’re stuck, don’t go longer—go smaller.

🎻 On this day in 1974, at 15, I took my first violin lesson simply because my heart insisted. Violin changed my life forever. Trust your heart—it already knows the way. 💖🎶 #ViolinLife #ListenToYourHeart
