Violines en ascenso: lecciones para estudiantes de violín de nivel intermedio

This is an 8 week class designed for beginning violin students who have learned beginning violin technique. Students should already know the parts of the violin, how to properly hold the instrument, the appropriate methods for producing sounds/pitches, notes/fingerings, and how to play some beginning level songs. In this lesson group, students will learn notes and songs on the D and G strings, two new bowing techniques, and music notation (staff and its parts).

Students are expected to have a sized violin on their very first lesson day. 

Students will be taught using resources from the Essential Elements for Strings Violin Book 1 and Suzuki Violin Book 1. This will help students with individual practice and learning notation and violin fingerings. Students will focus mostly on foundational technique and learning a few beginning songs.
