Week 3 Notes

Review of the last two lessons


The proper way to hold the bow is just like biting the carrot.


The bow thumb tip goes half-way on the hair of the bow and the silver part next to the hair.

Is this right?

Not this!
Practice 10 bow holds daily. Pretend to stir the soup. Mention some of the things you want to add to the soup.

Then practice "Wheels on the Bus" and move it around your face.

Do the "Bread Song" tuck-a-tuck-a STOP STOP.

Practice moving the violin from under your right arm to under your chin.

Finger Pops with the hands first and then finger pop on the violin.



Rubber band/Styrofoam installed on the violin--this week.

    The shoulder rest looks awesome!!! It seems to be attatched perfectly with the rubberband....Her bow hold is coming along. The main two things to fix are these: the thumb nail does not face the ceiling. The thumb nail is more perpendicular to the bow. Sara's pointer finger should hang over the bow at the first joint. It looks like she could hang the pointer finger over more.
