This is a follow up violin lesson for learners that have already mastered plucking the D and A strings. In this lesson we will learn the new skill of placing the first finger on the D string (and A string if time permits). Students will learn via watching and listening to the instructor and having personalized guidance on their positioning. We will cover selections from #23-27 in the String Basics book. Prior experience needed can be gained by taking 'Violin for Beginners: Holding Your Instrument and Plucking the Strings' or other lessons/study using the String Basics method book. Students should have a good grasp on #1-18 before signing up for this course. Materials needed: Violin that is functional and tuned (bow will not be used in this lesson), music stand, 'String Basics: Steps to Success for String Orchestra' Book 1 violin method book, pencil, orange highlighter, pink highlighter. A violin shoulder rest that attaches to the violin is highly recommended (a soft cloth or sponge rubber banded to the violin are makeshift options), and a music stand is also recommended though not necessary. After practice and mastery of the material in this class, (at least through #27 in the String Basics book) students will be ready to take 'Your Third Violin Lesson: Placing the 2nd and 3rd Fingers on the Strings'.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, My name is Mrs. VW.
I teach music and other classes on Outschool.
I have experience teaching orchestra, band, choir and general music in school classrooms and for private groups such as home school and fine arts organizations. I have over 15 years of experience teaching private instrument lessons, mainly string instruments and piano.
Our world is full of beauty and I love helping others tune in to notice, create and share beautiful things.
When I'm not teaching or creating music, I enjoy reading and learning new things!
Note:
If you are thinking of purchasing a string instrument in preparation for a class, you are welcome to message me about good quality but still affordable recommendations. Buying a too-cheap and poorly made 'violin shaped object' off Amazon or other sellers can result in frustrations with an instrument that breaks, is hard to tune, hard to play etc.
