Adult Violin Progress - 1 Week to 6 Months

I started playing the violin at age 27, and it's been 6 months now.
Six months of almost-daily practice and, of course, help from a teacher and hundreads of youtube videos of tutorial/tips/courses.

Even if I didn't know how to read notes before, I did "played" a bit of piano (A bit less than a year in elementary school, and as an adult thanks to synthesia youtube video) and guitar (in my teenage years) and ukulele (last year). And let's not forget my cute zelda ocarina that is gathering dust somewhere in one of my drawers.

Saw in my violin logging journal that at this day of 5th may 2019 (185 day since starting to play violin, meaning already 6 months and 1 week) I'm at 150 hours of playing. (150 hours is 3.75 lingling days)

150 hours of playing for 6 months seems like a good time to post clips from first week to today. So here is a collection of video from the past 6 months.


I hope you enjoy my progress video and if you have any questions, let me know.
