I’m learning the violin!
I’m taking a class at Santa Barbara City College. It’s very exciting.
Two quick things:
- It’s amazing how much self-confidence affects playing. I decided I was going to do really well in this class. There’s 20 or so people in it, and I decided I was going to be one of the best. The effect is that even though I sound terrible and make tons of mistakes, I play loud and convince myself that I’m doing well. This, in turn, helps me to learn faster, and so I really do do well. It’s cool.
- I’m meeting all sorts of cool musicians. I saw one of my classmates at an open mic the night after our first class. We didn’t talk then, but the next class I found out he’s a songwriter, that is in a band, and that he has a show coming up soon. I’ve been wanting to meet cool musicians, and here you go, I’m meeting them.
Now you’re updated on my violin adventures. Have a good Thursday!
