This method of mapping a path is aligned with how neurons that fire together wire together. It also seems like a great way to, secondarily, map all of those landmark note positions to one's muscle memory and cognitive memory.
Will start using this strategy today.
Thanks Doc!

No thank you! I'm 23 now and am going to be picking the violin back up and found this channel and loved the way you did these videos! You have an amazing amount of skill and I will strive to reach that amount!

You are most welcome!!

Please please Professor, could we please have a fingerboard with all the notes on it as it would be much easier to practice what you say? If we don't know where the named notes are it is that much more difficult! Thank you very much as I cannot do what you say until I have a named chart.

Very true. This lesson can be applied to so many other facets of life.

[@jacobandcharlie]

I was wondering What piece of music is being played at the intro and conclusion? It sounds very familiar but I can't place it.
