String Update/Assignment

Good afternoon!  It looks like we may have a snow day tomorrow- what a great opportunity to squeeze in some extra practice time! :)  I hope you stay safe and warm inside.

Third Graders

Today we continued to work on our bowing.  We played through the examples on pages 16 and 17 in the book.

Assignment:

• D Scale, ascending (up) and descending (down)
• Page 18 with the bow! :)

Fourth Graders

4A:  Today we played through the songs on page 22.  Then, the violins and violas learned how to finger A with the 4th finger (on the D string).   We also played ALL of Hickory Dickory Dock, and played on the G string.

Assignment:

• Work on bow technique and posture!  Some of you were a little droopy today :)
• Page 23
• Hickory Dickory

4B:  Today we reviewed that pesky C natural...it's tough to squeeze the second finger so close to the first!  We also worked on the William Tell Overture. 

Assignment:

• Pages 33 and 34 in the book
• Hickory Dickory
• William Tell Overture (#190)
