Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

"Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" from "The ABC's of Violin, Easy Piano Accompaniment for Book 1" by Janice Tucker Rhoda, page 7.

Another week of practice and I believe I have improved the tonal quality ever so slightly, but there are still a few scratchy spots. I can see that this is going to be a very long journey.

@6Heureka - Thank you so much Jochen for your support. I'm happy you don't notice the scratches. Maybe one day we will play a virtual duet together with you on the banjo.

@ImaLanger - Thank you Mike for taking the time to listen. Yes, it's all in the bow action, or so I read in my various lessons and books. I agree that it's starting to sound better, but remember that I am trying really hard and you are seeing the best take out of many. But that is how we train, so I'm not complaining. I'm still unsure how far I can really take this. Joshua Bell and David Garrett make it look so easy.

Hi Leon. You are progressing well. Your bow action looks good with nice arm movements to play the higher/lower strings and the sound produced is nice and consistent and is not as harsh as I would expect for someone just starting to play violin.
