Practicing with others

It's a realy pain and rapid desire to play differently when others are around. it's as though i'm not allowed to enjoy myself with others. it's weird. sex is the same...

Clare is here. We had a great day together. I'm happy that she is here but right now she is annoying me. Weird!

Doing sevcik. 10%

Sevcik op1 pt1 no 5 was surprisingly brief in comparision to the previous?! 20%. Still very much distracted by what people are listening to and 'at what level' I am playing. WTF is the point?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Something interesting! it helps to simply stop the bow mid sentence and hold it to stop the sound and feel the body. To let the reverb run through the instrument and room a little. to listen rather than play. to relax and let the new sound begin. A constant stream can be a distraction.

Also. Clare mentioned "you're still playing the same study from 5 months ago." Not sure what that is supposed to mean. grrr.

Doing well. 25%
