바이올린 그룹 수업 - 스즈키 바이올린 교본 1 - 학기 장기 바이올린 수업

In this semester-long course, students will learn the songs presented in Suzuki Violin Book 1. We will learn all of the new techniques such as staccato, legato, slurs, accented notes, pick-up notes, etc. that are presented within these songs. Each week we will learn a new song that builds on the technique learned in the previous songs. 

Songs and Techniques presented in this class:
Lightly Row - legato bow stroke, 4th finger, A major key signature and finger pattern
Song of the Wind - staccato bow stroke, retakes, more complicated string crossings
Go Tell Aunt Rhody - legato bow stroke, faster retakes
O Come, Little Children - pick-up notes, introducing dotted rhythms
May Song - reinforcing dotted rhythms, arpeggios
Long, Long Ago - dynamic swells
Allegro - switching between staccato and legato bow strokes, dynamics, musical terminology (dolce, ritardando, a tempo, fermata)
Perpetual Motion - staccato, steady fast bow strokes
Allegretto - staccato, accents, D major key signature and finger pattern
Andantino - mixing multiple bow strokes (legato, staccato, accents)
Etude - G major key signature and finger pattern
Minuet No. 1 - 3/4 time, minuet style, slurs, first and second endings, accidentals
Minuet No. 2 - hooked bows, triplets
Minuet No. 3 - grace notes
The Happy Farmer - a compilation of everything learned so far
Gavotte - 16th note slurs, cantabile, pizzicato, arco

Although we will be using the Suzuki book, I do not teach using the Suzuki Method. I use a more traditional method that is tailored to the students' specific learning needs. Along with group instruction, I will also make time for individualized instruction during the live class.

For this class to be successful, students will need a basic understanding of how to properly hold the violin and bow and note reading. If your learner is brand new to the violin, I suggest taking my class Beginning Violin first (where we learn basic set-up, technique and learn the song Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star).

Please send me a message if you have any questions about the class. I look forward to meeting you and furthering your violin studies!
