Hi all

Well, today I had my first lesson since my disatrous one 2 weeks ago and it went ok I think my teacher must have noticed I was upset last time because he made a few casual, joking references to the last lesson............ "if looks could kill etc"

I told him that I found it really hard and uncomfortable doing the same thing over and over and over..... for 50 minutes! He said, "I know, I do get a bit carried away sometimes"!! To which I replied "You, NO, surely not!" Hahaha!

We played a few scales etc and he said that I had improved and then he moved very swiftly on

He did mention that he could just ignore my problems and let me "get away" with them but that wouldn't be best for me long term I think he was trying to justify himself a little I said that he could maybe let me "get away" with the odd thing now and again!

So, feeling happier now and remotivated

Thanks again to everyone who helped

Yay

O that's good, glad it's working out.

That's great, that you feel a bit better about it all now. I can see where he is coming from with going over technique problems, etc, but it shouldn't be puched to the point where it puts you off. It should be enjoyable, always!

Thats great!!! I'm liking the amount of smilies as well heehee!! Me and my violin still aren't on talking terms - eek!!

That's great! I took my violin out of its case and started playing it for the first time in two years... I'm trying to remember why I disliked it so.
