I am flexible, so if you can tune your violin than I will consider that  prior experience. 

In this one time trial lesson, the same format as on ongoing class. I will access where your Childs skills, and create a plan of action to help them achieve their musical goals. From there you can decide if you want to continue violin lessons with me. 
During the first lesson, we will get to know each other, I will ask you to play any current piece, scales, or etudes you have been working on. That I am a trained Suzuki Teacher, and that will be the main repertoire we will be working on throughout our lessons. That being said, I am always willing to go outside that rep if a student has a piece they would like to learn . 

Topics taught will include: 
-ear training 
-listening 
-right and left-hand coordination and independence
-relaxed hand-frame
-posture
-intonation 
-musical expression
-proper bow hold 
-practice skills
-tone and vibrato development 

Materials Needed for First Lesson
-Violin with Bow (Go to your local music store and have your student measured for the correct size) I high discourage buying a violin from amazon or another budget website. You can usually rent a violin from a music store for under 25 dollars a month. 
-Rosin 
- 1/4 artist blocking tape (if you dont have this the first lesson it is fine)

- Shoulder rest, I really like the Kun shoulder rests. You can get them at a music store or online. Get the size that corresponds with the size of your child's violin. (look inside the violin should be a sticker that says the size)
