TCHAIK PROJECT 9 - End of 2019

Finally, the last set of diaries of 2019! 

*note: Here in Brazil the end of the calendar year is also the end of the school year, because our summer starts on December. So imagine the stress of the double end every year...

TCHAIK PROJECT 8 - Practicing in the cracks of routine

I should have had a lot of time at home to practice for all the projects I was involved with in the months of this present chunk of diaries, but the same projects took me out of the house for almost all of my awake time. 
So here you have what I managed to do to keep making progress in this Project! Looking back, I feel a mix of "I should have done more" with "I am proud I didn't give up and practiced something." 

Oh well, who said that relearning one of the most difficult violin concertos in the midst of a professional life would be a piece of cake?
