Specifically, by the end of our lessons students will:
👉Develop proper bow hold, posture and fingering technique through mirrored practice and gentle feedback.
👉Build reading skills by learning basic note names and rhythmic patterns.
👉Experience the satisfaction of playing full songs using their growing techniques.
👉Gain confidence performing for others in a non-judgmental environment.
