Yousician Guitar progress

Last night I finally made it through the Yousician songs Moon Hop (in pitiful fashion) and Don’t Rust Alone, to complete Cowboy Chords 5: F & Dm in Level 4.  I will now be working on “Unlock Level 5” for both the Lead & Rhythm paths. Seems I’ve been working on J.S. Bach’s Bourree forever (Lead path); I’m up to about 70% speed. Really enjoying that one, but it’s taking so long! Now I’ll be adding “Close My Eyes” (Rhythm path) to that practice routine as well.

Thank God for the new challenges every Thursday, to give me some new stuff to work on while I try to get past the Unlock Level 5 songs!

I also just got some of the Hal Leonard "Aerobics" music books.  I started with Bass Aerobics and Ukulele Aerobics last night.  I have Guitar Aerobics coming in the mail, and a couple of new violin books as well.

These are the new violin books.

The Fiddle Time Joggers book is recommended by Alison Sparrow of The Online Piano & Violin Tutor.  The Fiddle Time Runners is the next book in that series, and The Magic of Irish Fiddling is supposed to be suitable for beginners as well.  I do have a bit of a book problem!

With my violin, I've been working on a small piece of Folk Dance (a Beethoven piece) in the book Simply Strings Violin Book 1.  I'm also working on Jingle Bells from the same book, and My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean (a simplified version, downloaded from online).  I do feel like I'm making some progress!
