Beginner - Intermediate Level
Hi everyone, This is a very engaging class where students will learn 4 of their favorite Christmas songs well. They will not just learn the notes, but also theory and violin basics in every single lesson. They will be introduced to the following techniques: martelé and tremolo. I believe in in-depth learning, and always focus on improving student's technique in a fun and engaging way. Because this is a self-paced class, students can take their time learning the songs as they watch the lessons. I encourage students to send me videos of their playing to receive detailed feedback from me, as well as to ask me any questions they may have in the classroom. I look forward to seeing you in the classroom and together learn these beautiful songs!
Learning Goals
Learn how to play the 4 Christmas songs.
Learn how to perform "tremolo" and "martele" bow strokes.
