Taking apart the first few lines of my Etude over "Rose Room" last night in the practise club. These sessions are always centred around material that will help you play better, not always just adding to your list of things to practise but sometimes. like in this little clip, taking things away... Being a part of the Jazz Violin Practise Club will guarantees this... You will practise more You will practise better You will enjoy practise more evenly. If you fancy giving it a go, send me a message or comment on this post and I'll get you set up for a free try this month.

@Tamsin Haggis has been an active member of the community since she first joined. She came here with no jazz experience at all and has been working hard, using the Practise Diaries thread to stay on track, took the 5 Day Challenge and is now working through my Blues course. It’s been really fun seeing your progress and hearing all about the work you are doing Tamsin! Thanks for being here and for being such an active and supportive member of the community too. Matt

This is your spot to log what you're working on, whenever you practise. No pressure to post daily, just whenever you've had a session and want to note it down or share it. It could be something you've been working on, in your own time or with lessons with me. Anyone in here can post! Comment below with: 📅 Date: 🎻 What I worked on: ⏱️ Time practised: 🎉 One win: 🤔 One thing I'm stuck on: Doesn't need to be polished. A quick video or voice note works just as well if you'd rather show than write. I'll be dropping my own practise notes in here too, not just replying to yours. And if you've got a spare minute, leave a comment on someone else's check-in as well. Even just a "nice work" will help us all feel motivated to keep on keeping on! Drop your first check-in below 👇

Here’s a short excerpt from my first concert with an amateur group. I’d like to thank Matt for all the work we’ve done together over the past months. His lessons and guidance have helped me grow as a musician and gave me the confidence to take this step. I’m happy to share this moment with the community. Much of what you hear in this performance reflects what I’ve learned during these months of study. Thank you, Matt, and thanks everyone for the support! 🎻🎶
