From now on I will post the diaries every 2 weeks. It’s a lot of work to each post and the practices repeat a lot. This way, with more information in each post, you can also see the frequency of practice sections and of what I practice in each section (me too!).
Just arrived? Here is an introduction to the TCHAIK PROJECT.
Readings of those weeks:
The correct way to sit in a chair
And I finished watching the Kato Havas workshop that is on Youtube. The first video is here. Very interesting.

I finally finished reading Tchaikovsky’s page on Wikipedia. Has some interesting insights about how to look at his work...
I opened the violin and started playing the 1st movement. Out of the blue. I played a little under tempo, seeing if I memorized something. I have the notes and rhythms of the 1st page already in my head (not all the fingerings yet, specially at the end of the page). I still have to memorize the bowings, a good part of the dynamics and a more solid idea of what the orchestra has. But I got very happy!
I have a little more than 1 hour to practice. I’m lost about what to do, I confess…
