Popcorn/Ice Cream--Review More this week emphasizing the need for the stop drop part.
Divide Lightly Row into different segments. Segment 1 (ladybug) keep the bow going up for a note and down for a note. Make sure the second part is played with a down bow (starting on the A string).
Make a garden of flowers with all the times that she plays each portion of lightly row so that there are different colored flowers on the paper that represent the different sections of lightly row.
Focus of the Week
Straight wrist. Keep the slippery slide.
Try using a ruler and a rubber band for a few minutes to keep her wrist straight.
Stand in front of a mirror with perfect posture.
Make sure the thumb is in the sweet spot.
Thumbelina is shy and does not holler over the side of the violin.
Thimble on thumb draw awareness.
Draw a happy face on the side of the hand so when it is facing her her hand is properly posed, when it is facing away the hand is crooked.
Try it with no bow just focusing on the violin hand and sing as though she were playing.
