Are violin lessons right for my child?

6/28/2022

0 Comments

 
We are so excited that you are interested in violin lessons for your child. Violin lesson can be such a wonderful part of a child's musical development. But private violin lessons may not be the right choice for every child at this moment of their development. The photo below offers some questions to help you think through whether violin lessons are a good choice for your child at this time. Answering "incorrectly" to any of the questions will not rule out violin lessons. They are just there as a tool in helping you and your teacher decide if now is a good time to start violin lessons and how to proceed with lessons if they are ready. 😊

Here it is, March 31st! Spring has officially sprung, bringing with it a lot of pollen! 🤧 We started our Practice Bingo challenge in the middle of February and our students are doing great! Several have already finished one bingo and one has finished two bingo rows! Lincoln, Alexandru, and Michael all finished books in March. There’s been quite a lot of practicing and learning happening in the past two months! 😃

November Happenings

November. A month of counting our blessings and prepping for Christmas. We have so much to be thankful for including all our wonderful students and their families! We are also thankful for the growth and progress we have been seeing in all our students. Several students hit milestones during the month of November. August R. started piano lessons. Kenza and Alexandru finished their first lessons books and Deborah and Karla finished the lesson books that they have been working on. 

Another major milestone was hit by Addy C., Owen, Michael S., and Felix - They all finished their 100 Days of Practice challenge!! That's a lot of practicing and their progress is proof of their practice. 

We also started learning Christmas music so keep your eyes open for videos of Christmas music coming your way starting December 9th.

October Happenings

Ah October, the beginning of autumn. It just so happens to be Carl and my favorite season. Cooler weather, leaves changing colors... so much loveliness. Plus, we welcomed Max to guitar lessons and August to piano lessons. We welcomed Alex and Amelia's smiling faces back to piano lessons after a short break. Dillon and Addie finished another level of books. Grace kept violin lessons exciting by losing a tooth during a lesson. And not to forget, we had a great time at our fall recital!

We had a lovely autumn recital a couple of weeks ago. All the students did just a great job playing their pieces...and more importantly, conquering their nerves and fears. We are so proud of all of them!! Enjoy some pictures and a video of the recital.

Happy new school year! We jumped right back into lessons, welcoming back several former students and several new students. They all started their journey towards 100 days of practice. It will be a long haul, but we are confident they can do it! Can't wait to hear all the music these kids create this year!

We had a wonderful spring recital in my backyard a little over a week ago. The weather was beautiful. All of the students played so well. I love seeing each of them conquer their fears and perform in front of a group of people!

How to Make a Pinky House

7/2/2019

Bow holds are hard to make. I don't know of one student who has had a perfect bow hold from day one. So...we try to help them as much as we can. One of the ways to help those little fingers is to make a pinky house or a pinky palace (as my husband's violin teacher called them). Here is a video I created showing how I make pinky palaces for my students.

There is nothing like a practice challenge to motivate you to practice. And that is why we are having a practice challenge for the month of March. The challenge is to practice all 31 days this month! It is quite a lofty challenge, but completely doable. Let's go practice!

Recommended Resource: Microfiber cloths

Clean that Violin!
How do you clean your violin? Or should I ask, “Do you clean your violin?” Rosin is necessary for playing the violin, but it does leave quite the mess on your violin, strings, and bow stick. The best and cheapest way I have found to clean it is the lowly microfiber cloth. Nothing fancy. It does a great job of getting the violin clean and can get under bow hair to clean the stick. And the best part is that you probably have a clean one laying around that you can designate for this use and leave in your violin case. Happy cleaning!!
