Hi everyone!
This week, my challenge is to learn all of the songs on page 15.
These songs aren’t very hard to play–they all only have D, E, and F#–but they are on the staff so they may be hard to read. I have uploaded videos of me playing the songs on all of the instruments to help you practice. Be sure to practice a lot this weekend! See you Monday!

This week we started learning how to read notes on the staff. I explain which notes to learn in the video below:

Try to get really good at reading D, E, F#, and G so that we can keep learning!
Hi everyone!
This week I explain the Week 4 review in the first video, and then each subsequent video shows me playing each of the songs that students are to practice this week. I am interested to know if these sorts of videos help with practicing at home, so feedback would be helpful! Please make sure to practice all of the songs on page 12 this week!

Hi everyone!
We had such a great turnout on Monday! It was a bit chaotic to deal with tuning all of the instruments and rosining bows that had never been rosined, but we got through it and the kids did wonderfully. Below are some review videos for each of the instruments:
Violin
Viola
Cello

Stay tuned for the challenge videos coming later this week!
