Violin remake II.1

Another 45 minutes spent 'correcting' his posture and positioning of fingers on the violin and bow. An exasperating 45 minutes... before the boy exclaimed, "我不懂!我不懂你在 说什么!" We both realized we overestimated his ability to understand. She was speaking too fast for him.

I'm frustrated! Each time the boy changes his teacher, he has to lay his fingers on the board a different way. The thing is, he never got it right the first time and so we keep having to go back to undo the habit. The expectation from this teacher is that he holds it precisely the way she tells him to.

Back to the drawing board.
