1) Get a copy of Simandl, if you can and work through that, slowly.
2) Start learning your major scales (arco) and increase the range. Don't just play in one comfortable key... it's best to do all 12.
3) Find a piece of music and learn it. Find a piece that isn't impossibly hard but still presents a challenge.
4) Check out other players in your area and, if they sound good, ask them for a lesson.
Sorry, I'm rushing off to an appointment, so I did this quickly.

TRY TO MAKE YOUR PRACTICE SOUND GOOD... it is supposed to be music, after all.

The inner game of music is a very good book.
