It fascinates me how violinists can play in tune when there is nothing to tell if they are pressing in the right place or not - and standing up to play it omigosh...

It sounds nice though! But i stopped learning it after gr3......

I dabble on the cello. If you can find enough time, it is great to learn such completely different instruments. That's a big if, though...

I started violin a few months ago. Having the ribbon stuck under where the notes are on the strings helps a ton.
I'm going into grade 8 RCM, & am preparing for the Basic Harmony exam. :)
Over the summer I'm working on some Bach inventions, & Bartok Romanian Folk Dances.
I also play violin & guitar! :D
