Back to the basics

I have decided to get back into playing the Violin full time, so I found a teacher that could teach advanced violin, and today was my first lesson. My instructor is a bid odd, but I have found most good teachers have many idiosyncrasies. I have not really played since I moved away from home. First problem was I lived in apartments that the walls were very thin, and I did not feel comfortable practicing. When Landon and I got our first home, I had not played for at least 5 years, so by that time it was not high on my priority list. I did miss playing, but with the car accident that I was in it hurt the part of my back that houses the muscles that you use when you play, and it was painful to play for longer than a half hour or so, so I just did not pull it out again. It is still painful to play, and I have to really relax, and stretch those muscles, and then still put a massager on particular spots after I play.
After my lesson today, the parts of my body that I use to play with the proper form were so worn out they were quivering! I guess I will have to start to really practice to get back into shape.
I am looking forward to getting back into it, and finding venues once I am polished again to play.
