Class Experience
Is your child interested in learning how to play the violin? Join Mrs. Justis as we learn the parts of the violin, how to hold the violin, pluck and play our first notes and songs! Students do not need any prior experience. Young musicians will learn through songs and games as well as lots of hands on practicing! Before you know it, learners will be playing Mozart’s "Twinkle Twinkle", Beethoven’s "Ode to Joy" and more! Each class will start with a fun welcome and introductions,...
Learners will learn the names of the parts of the violin and bow. Learners will learn how to take care of their violin. Learners will learn how to hold their violin and bow. Learners will learn the names of the strings and how to pluck them and play fun rhythms on them with their bow. Learners will learn how to place their fingers on their violin and the names of the notes on the A and E strings. Learners will learn the A scale. Learners will learn how to pluck and use their bows to play Twinkle Twinkle and Ode to Joy.
I have over 25 years teaching students how to play the violin. It's my heart and passion! I love to make it fun and fill my classes with encouragement and positive reinforcement, peppered with 'helpful hints' to make their music even better!
Learners should practice between classes. Parents should tune their child's violin. If you need help, I will send you a video about how to do that!
6 files available upon enrollment1. violin- violins come in different sizes to fit your child. Here is a link to help you determine the right size. https://www.childrensmusicworkshop.com/instruments/violin/violinsizingguide/ You can rent from your local music store, or purchase one (this one from Amazon has everything you need, but you will need to set it up. There is an instructional video to show you how. https://www.amazon.com/Eastar-Beginners-Students-Imprinted-Fingerboard/dp/B08199SVYK/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=violin&qid=1616201144&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&smid=A1PZPD3QI86H0M&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFNWVFBT1kxSk1SM0wmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA5ODYwNzAyWU5WMk1VOFlNT08zJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwOTk3MzQxRDFSMVNYVU82NE02JndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== 2. bow- usually comes along with your violin 3. rosin- usually comes with your violin. If not, this is what I recommend: https://www.childrensmusicworkshop.com/instruments/violin/violinsizingguide/ 4. shoulder rest- No need for something expensive. You can use a thick sponge and rubber bands, or order this: Here is the sponge one that I recommend.https://www.amazon.com/Players-Economy-Foam-Violin-Shoulder/dp/B000EEJ8V4/ref=sr_1_57?dchild=1&keywords=violin+shoulder+rest&qid=1616201727&sr=8-57 or: If you want to get a fancy one, get a KUN. The imitation ones that are cheaper tend to fall off more easily. 5. Finger Board Tape: Get one to fit your child's violin size. This is a full size, you will need a smaller one. https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Fret-FF121-Beginners-Fingering/dp/B00557KN28/ref=sr_1_28?crid=299GW8HCQV3H&keywords=violin+fingerboard+tape&qid=1657587506&sprefix=violin+fingerboard+tape%2Caps%2C325&sr=8-28 If you have any questions about this information, please don't hesitate to ask!
