Just another idea.

It’s been awhile since I’ve practiced. I have another lesson coming up on September 14th and I’m not even remotely prepared. Thanks for the reminder though, I do need to get back to it. I find it very grounding as well. I remember one time I was dissociating right before and as my lesson began but afterwards I felt so much better after playing with my teacher. The violin is very grounding. There’s so much senses involved. Holding the strings down, moving the bow , the vibration of the strings , the sound. It’s all very grounding so I def need to get back to it
