There are many things that have happened since my last posting here
He takes out his notes which he makes during the week 'to prepare' as well as his violin and very patiently and methodically reasons his way through scales and other theory.
We exchange music although due to my lack of computer skills it is rather onesided and it is he who is always sending me music.
We also take it in turn to play for each other to encourage and to hear how we are progressing.
He does not read music but is learning very quickly as he is astute, even learning without a teacher when he first began - which i think is an amazing achievement, i on the other can manage a little, but would rather just play by ear..
Last night i did this for him over skype, i had practiced for a few hours beforehand, a song which reminded me of the dances i used to attend with my parents as a child. This song also happens to be on the cd my maestro launched last week.
the song is Besame Mucho.. which in spanish i believe means kiss me a lot or very much.
Anyhow... i played this adlibbing over the skype exchange after having been inspired by maestro's rendition.
Sergio had replied after i had finished - i do not know how to do that.. play by ear.
The words in reply are those written up top.. faith

lesson 29
There are many things that have happened since my last posting here
at some stage i will have to catch up.
A chat on skype last night has prompted this post today.
There have been a few very extraordinary people who i have encountered on this violin voyage, each making their own special contribution in helping me, and i make mention of another here now.
My support person and friend Sergio, who is also a mature beginner in violin, is someone who has recently come into my life, as recently as the violin itself.
he struggles as i do with the instrument, however our passion to master it, is one which ties us.
Each week we have what i have termed, a VICC - Violin International Conference Call over the internet air waves via skype as he is from the tiny island of Malta.
