July 20, 2026 (Maintenance)

The summers are busy and hopefully fun but I often find that routines are hard to keep. I have been trying to keep them and they might be a little better than in years past. So, we spent Saturday just going through some of my routine skills and honing in on elements of the key of D. I always think about tone and ways to improve it as well as ways to work on tone at different bow speeds–hopefully you are noticing some improvement with yours.

I am packing today and leaving for Clifftop early Thursday morning. I actually enjoy the prepping, the time there, and knowing how I will feel when I come home. See you when I am back!
