We're back to reliving those days when she's first started her violin lessons.
This new violin seemed to be even 'longer' compared to the 1st one she has, so she had to reeaaaaally stretch her arm which caused her aches. Then, the fingering problem, though anticipated, I've not expected the violin to be any much bigger than before, so now it's harder for her to stretch her tiny fingers. No choice anyway, 'cos by the time she goes for her exam, she'd need to play with the bigger one as well.
She was impatient, not heeding my advice/suggestion, had wanted to play songs with it straight away. However, after a few pieces and hearing for herself the tuning problem due to her fingering position, she relented and allowed me to guide her back to the basics. Well, not entirely the minimum basics but more to let her get used to the new positions. I feel that this violin is also more sensitive, if she'd miss the position by even 2-3mm, the tune will not be too far out, but now with this, a tiny shift away will give a really different tune and I'm finding it irritating and she, frustrated....
