Week 2 - Friday 9/16 - Tuesday 9/20 

Today, we learned:
  • Our very first song- the Ants Song!!!
  • The names of our strings
  • How to hold our instruments and pluck the strings correctly 
  • How to set up our shoulder rests (violins/violas)  and rock stops (cellos) 
Before your next lesson, please:
  • Review the parts of your instrument and label them on your sheet if you forgot last week!  
  • Practice unpacking, ready position, putting on your shoulder rest, holding your instrument (see the inside of your Essential Elements book for help!)
  • Practice the Ants Song and memorize the names of your 4 strings- teach your parents how to play it!  Take a picture of yourself at home with your instrument so you can always remember how you looked/felt when you first started playing!
  • BONUS- see if you can figure out how to play the DAD song- we will learn it together in class next week!  
Don't forget to bring ALL 4 ITEMS to your next lesson!  (Instrument, Binder with pencils, Essential Elements Book 1, shoulder rest/rock stop) 

Just for fun, here is a video of some cows listening to the violin!  Do your pets like to hear you play your instrument?

I'm so excited to start making music together!!  See you next time!
Ms. Davis :)
