The violin, sometimes called the fiddle, is a stringed instrument with a voice that can stir your emotions.

I started learning to play the violin (at ELLSO) from scratch at a late age (37).

Here is the continuing story of the gradual journey to a clean sound, articulated notes and playing violin music in tune.

Prelude No.3

Edelweiss again.

This time I've tried to use all of the bow in each stroke which I think looks good when I see a virtuoso play.

Still trying to achieve that clean sound.

Prelude No.2

Another recital of Edelweiss. Again need to improve confidence in bow control.

Tend to hit two strings at once in error sometimes.

The sound isn't yet clean. This will come in time.

Prelude No.1

The first video recorded, during rehearsals of the second ELLSO end of term concert.

It's called Edelweiss, one of my favourite tunes for the violin.

Need to improve bow hold and bow control. Also, want to learn to use more bow for a more stretched out arm.

Would look better in my opinion.
