Today

Day 2 of your cycle· plan suggests this

Singing tone, high-position tuning, gentle on the body. A good day after a hard one, or when your back's a bit sore.

• **Morning back check**
• Physio set (2×10)
• Warm up — open strings, slow full bows, long tones; relaxed, back-aware 6m
• Scales & arpeggios — 3 octaves in today's key; then slow double-stops (thirds, sixths, octaves) for intonation 8m
• Left-hand drill — Schradieck or Ševčík op.1, a few patterns, even and relaxed 4m
• Étude — a sustained-tone / shifting study (Kreutzer 11 or sons filés) for the singing line. Skip if the back or time is tight 8m
• Ease in — slow whole-bows, shifts into upper positions, tuning against a high-position drone 4m
• Scheherazade II solo (mm 1–5) — **rubato, no click**: phrasing, colour, free but in control 18m
• Quick break 3m
• Brahms 1, mvt II (E→end) — phrase shape, bow plan, in-tune singing line at about ♩=84 18m
• Quick break 3m
• **Log today's session**
