Pete Posted May 8, 2000 Report Share Posted May 8, 2000 Hi group. My name is Pete and I'm so glad to find you! I've been playing violin for almost a year and since I have short fingers, I'm having a lot of trouble. I'm hoping some of you can help me and maybe we can all learn something along the way. I'm a 35 year old, self employed portrait artist. I use mainly acrylics and oils. Although I paint a realistic and detailed portrait of my clients, my paintings are often too tight and controlled. I am finding that my violin playing is much the same. I just wanted to say hello and to test my registration here, so I look forward to meeting you all online soon.

Kath Posted May 8, 2000 Report Share Posted May 8, 2000 Hi Pete! Welcome to discuss about violin playing. I am sure that you get good answers here. I am quite new violinist as well. I have played just a few months and I am 22 years old. I have played piano for several years and took singing lessons too. Welcome!

Jane Posted May 8, 2000 Report Share Posted May 8, 2000 Hi Pete You'll find lots of useful hints and tips here. I started to learn violin 2 years ago (at 44), and there is certainly a wealth of help and info amongst Maestronet buddies. Check out the old "Intros / Bios" string and I think there was another getting to know you type string where you will find we have all introduced ourselves.

Brad Stevens Posted May 8, 2000 Report Share Posted May 8, 2000 Hi, Pete. I see that you are from Tennessee. Is that for real or east Arkansas? I grew up in Knoxville and my family is still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Stevens Posted May 9, 2000 Report Share Posted May 9, 2000 I lived in Antioch for a while, too. I loved it, my wife hated it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
