Oshine - Mark Pedus' Violin and Viola practice manual

Defeated by WordPress

I know it has been a while since I last posted anything new here. But don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about you all!

Over the last few months, I struggled with WordPress. I am used to being able to ‘figure things out’ if I try hard enough. However, I have too many gaps in my knowledge of webdesign, or understanding of computers in general, and I wasted weeks ‘experimenting’. I can proudly say that I successfully managed to slow my site down, with no solutions in sight! 🙂

So today I decided to look for some professional help and I hope you will soon be able to have access to a more streamlined and user friendly violin/ viola education.

On a positive ♪, I have continued recording and editing and I am almost halfway ready with chapter 3, the scales. The simplicity and predictability of scales are an ideal and efficient way to put everything you learned in chapters 1 & 2 together. I chose the accompanied scales composed by Charles de Beriot to make the entire experience even more fun and easy going.

Over the next few days I will start connecting my videos to the site and I wish you all a lot of courage and fun!

One challenge a day

Today I was going to finish editing and upload my first recorded exercise. Past perfect because that isn’t going to happen!

I’m a novice with webdesign, and even though I’m quite proud of what I achieved over the last few months with the website of my shop, this is a whole new challenge. I assumed with what I learned, this would be manageable. It couldn’t be as complicated as a full on e-commerce shop, right?! Probably it isn’t, at least not in the same way.

There accuracy was paramount, here style/layout; and just a basic understanding of the possible consequences of a simple click are still sorely lacking. But every day I’m a fraction closer to where I want to get. Another day, another challenge, but I wont give up.

I will get there, one failure at a time…
