Hello Parents and Students,
Yesterday, October 9th, was the first day for Strings and it went very well. I was pleased with the attention and diligence all of the students, beginners and intermediates, demonstrated while in their lessons.

The Beginners learned how to properly hold the bow and instrument. Parents, you will see your child practicing an exercise called the "Windshield Wiper" with their bow. This exercise is to help them maintain a proper bow hold. Parents, if your child has a Strings Method Book you will see a few diagrams of the proper bow hold towards the beginning of the book. You can help them with their bow holds. The Beginners will also be practicing holding the instrument as well.

In the Intermediates lesson, I reveiwed some music theory with them as well as some scales. Their "Practice Work" for the week is to practice the C, G, D, and A Major Scales.


I look forward to seeing everyone next week!!
