I have recently started private lessons. My teacher was a competitive fiddler, traveling around to different competitions. She is very strict about bow direction, something that I have only paid a bit of attention to. I now feel that it has become my main focus and I am finding it very difficult to unlearn the habits I have developed from several years of playing. I have no doubt that I will get it eventually but I really feel that I really have to slow down and relearn certain things. It’s hard to break old habits. “Slow down to speed up” Right now this is my biggest challenge.
