Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(39)
In this 2-week class, students will build upon basic violin skills previously learned and learn to play a song that incorporate techniques including staccato and slurs, plus how to increase their tempo effectively!
Class experience
This class is the next step for learners who have completed my "Beginning Violin Foundations: For All Violin Newcomers!" class. This class is also perfect for those who have already learned the very basics of playing their violin (including proper violin hold and bow hold and using 3 fingers in a song such as Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star), and are ready to learn a little more and work on speeding up! Students are not required to know how to read music for this class, and all material will...
Students will learn: - A major scale with application of new bowing techniques - Technique for slurs - Technique for staccato articulation - Step-by-step technique for keeping quick string crossings "clean" - Continued development of tone by refining bow hold and bow stroke - Continued development of intonation by refining left hand finger spacing
Students will need to have their own violin and bow in their correct size (and in good working condition), rosin, a small soft cloth, and a shoulder rest or foam pad (usually attached with a rubber band) in place of a shoulder rest. An adult will need to make sure the learner's violin is in tune to the best of their ability before each class meeting. (If you need help with this, I am able to send a video with tuning basics by request - please send me a message.) Sheet music as well as handouts showing the music by "rote" (string names and finger numbers) will be provided in the classroom.
