Hi Violinists,
Each week I "shout out" one or more students in each class! This week I would like to shout out: Bernard, your left hand positioning is improving and is becoming consistent!
We have a show on the books! We will be playing for the Winter Showcase at Mitchell on 12/2. Stay tuned!
NECESSARY MATERIALS
Small Binder with clear sleeves for loose sheet music
MUSIC STAND for standing practice at home. You do not need to bring this stand to class.
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 11/5-11/9 for just 10-15 minutes every time.
