Tonalization

I met with my teacher today. It went quite well. I learned quite a bit. I could not quite understand how to get the different pitches of sound, forte, mforte, p -hard to soft-. You use the weight of the bow not apply weight with your hand. My bowing is also improving.

Sounds like you have a nice teacher. Having a patient teacher really makes a difference.

Getting a really good sound is a long slow process, and the interesting thing is that no matter where we are we always want to be moving on to a better sound. So I guess you could say it's a long, slow, NEVER-ENDING process. But it's a process that we enjoy; that's why we do it.
