  • Students did super well today!  We learned all the parts of the violin.  Please review them this week.  We went through the 8 Steps to Violin Position.  This is essential to learning how to properly hold and play the violin.  Every time your student practices this week, these 8 steps should be followed.  Lastly, we learned to pluck each string.  G, D, A and E.  They should practice this over the week and next week we will begin with the book.  I explained to your child today that we will not be using the bows until we learn Twinkle.  It will be very tempting for them to want to use the bows, but please do not use them until I introduce them in a few weeks.

  • What a fun class!  Our young players did a fantastic job today.  We learned how to assemble our instruments and finger 2 different notes.  On the trumpet, we learned E and F.  On the flute, we learned D and Eb.  We also learned that a whole note receives 4 beats of sound and quarter notes receive one beat of sound.  Everyone did a great job producing tone on their instrument.  Helpful video links. HOW TO HOLD THE TRUMPET.  HOW TO MAKE A SOUND ON THE TRUMPET.  HOW TO MAKE A SOUND ON THE FLUTE. HOW TO ASSEMBLE YOUR FLUTE.  Please work on assembling your instruments, producing sound and pages 1 and 2 in the book.
