9/24/26 Practice Blog
WELCOME TO YOUR VERY FIRST PRACTICE BLOG!
Each week I "shout out" one or more students in each class! This week I would like to shout out: Ronan - awesome job with setting your violin high on your shoulder and your heavy head in playing position!
NECESSARY MATERIALS
PLEASE BRING THIS TO THE NEXT CLASS (it is okay if it is for next Wednesday and not Monday)
MUSIC STAND for standing practice at home.
You do not need to bring this stand to class.
Small Binder with clear sleeves for loose sheet music
PLEASE BRING THIS TO THE NEXT CLASS (it is okay if it is for next Wednesday and not Monday)
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 5-15 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
2. Worked on setting out violins high on our shoulders
Played detective
Practice: STANDING with new foot position and violin set high on your shoulder
You can access the sheet music I handed out today HERE
5-15 minutes a day (this week might be more of a 5 minute week)
PLAY ONE OF YOUR OLD SONGS EVERYDAY
- standing with your new foot position
options could be: Silly Little Monkey, Twinkle, Simple Gifts, Williams Tell, whatever you want! The point is to not learn new notes or play your hardest music, but to work on your playing position and feet position
