#100DaysOfPractice

Inspired by Grace Smith (check her out for gorgeous English folky vibes) and my ever-effervescent pal Magdalena Eriksson in Sweden, on 1st Jan this year I decided on a whim, after a (shameful) amount of time away from the instrument other than for work, to join in with Hilary Hahn’s 8th season of #100DaysOfPractice. A few days in, I’m already finding it a very thought provoking experience - probably too much thinking and not enough playing! Having shared a few wee reflections on instagram, I thought journalling this process may be worthwhile for myself, and decided to share it on here. It’s going to be pretty honest, poorly formatted, mostly for my own benefit so may contain references that don’t make immediate sense, and in the spirit of my practice; choosing to show up imperfectly and playfully, rather than prioritising perfect practice, which just wouldn’t happen. This is unlikely to be a daily blog, but I’d really value hearing anyone’s responses, publicly below, on instagram, or privately on sallyfiddle@gmail.com . Or maybe you’d like to join in, and let me know how your practice is going?
