Day Seven - Unfortunate Break & Open Strings

Due to unforseen circumstances, it seems that the proposed practise that was to take place today will have to be postponed. While it is but a minor hiccup in the quest, the next few days will unfortunately see me some distance from my violin. I will not be reunited with my new bride until the weekend, but I plan not to allow this to hinder my progress.

The Open Strings on the Staff: And so, I start by learning the open strings once more, but this time around, I also seek out the knowledge of where the open strings live on the staff. With a small amount of aid from Wikipedia, I find the following diagram and make every effort possible to commit it to memory.


I consider this work enough for today. My trek tomorrow will take me once again through the town of Ebay, where I shall be looking for books of lore and knowledge to aid me upon my grand adventure.

Day One - The Idea is Born.

I awoke this morning with a strange feeling running down my spine. After unfathomable inspiration from a fellow PhD, who will undoubtedly be appearing many times throughout this tale, it was clear that it was time to solidify my interest in all things musical.

With only the barest of experience, my latest adventure was set in place. It was time to purchase a Violin, and to master this exquisite instrument. And so, I set out upon my journey, twoards the brick road of Ebay, to find the item that would be paramount in my quest. A fabled artefact... The Violin.
