Flashback: playing the violin
In 2007, one of my goals for the year was to attain my much-delayed ATCL recital diploma for the violin. I made a conscious choice to reduce my final-year university workload in order to practice (lots). This culminated in a November public concert performance prior to a 30-minute assessed recital.
Here are two of the pieces – I’m sure you can spot the many nervous mistakes peppered throughout the performance!
