Today during theory class we learned the basics in playing the violin. I've ever had a violin lesson when i was at a young age so it wasn't that hard to play the violin. But before that, Mr. Sadrakh explained us about what is the rosin used for and he taught us on how to hold the bow correctly and apply the rosin on the bow and also he taught us on how to hold the violin correctly at a right position and a correct posture. We started playing the basics such as playing the A string, G, D and E. I was able to play that since its only the basics. Basically, I think the technical knowledge will come quickly (if i practice) but the physicality and connection between my hands and brain and what's on the page is going to take a long time to master.
During instrument class, since this semester's topic is about jazz, Mr. Herry taught us a new jazz exercise so that it would be easy for us to create a jazz song and also it wouldn't be that difficult for us to improvise. I wasn't able to play it fluently since it was my first time playing this exercise and I think this exercise is abit difficult for me. Maybe it's because I haven't learned any of these jazz exercises before. I will try to practice again at home so that I can play fluently in the next meeting.
