I am a student, playing violin 17 years. I understand that even professionals needs to practice and work on individual passages and double notes, but I’m talking about a general lack of stability — when there’s nothing particularly difficult as a whole, you’re in first or third position, and yet a single random note will still be off-key for no apparent reason. It’s as if there’s still no stable perfect fourth between my first and fourth fingers.

I also realize that back in high school, I lacked discipline when studying at home, and I still have issues that should have disappeared by now at my age. That’s why I’m curious how many people had similar problems during their junior or senior year at the conservatory.
