9/24/26 Practice
WELCOME TO YOUR VERY FIRST PRACTICE BLOG VIOLINISTS!
Next week I will be sizing and letting you go ahead and rent the violins. Ideally we will all have violins for Monday 10/5. I will EMAIL sizes on Monday 9/28 - but all practice instructions and most class info will be posted here on Thursdays to limit the amount of emails I send.
Each week I "shout out" one or more students in each class! This week I would like to shout out: Violet, you are so careful and gentle with your violin! Thank you for taking such good care of it!
NECESSARY MATERIALS

Violinists and families - this week it is so important that you begin the habit of practice for this year. Please take out your violin 4 times for practice between 9/24-9/29 for just 5-10 minutes every time. I want you practicing practice! This will make practicing much easier later in the year and is a great life skill!
This week in violin we:
1. Practice our Violin Foot Position
Practiced safely taking violins out of cases
3. Learned about Rest Position and taking a bow
Played Detective
Practice: STANDING with new foot position and violin set high on your shoulder
You can access the sheet music I handed out HERE

Color you Parts of the Violin Sheet (I sent this home with the violinists, but you can also find this in your Drive)
Go over the Parts of the Violin with a grownup in your house (using your sheet)
