Grace – congratulations on finishing Minuet 1!
– Recommended practice time: 20 min/day, 5 days/week
– Practice: G, A, and C Major scales (2 octaves, check intonation and make sure not to go too sharp), Minuet 2 (try to press fingers more firmly on the fingerboard and practice string crossings), and Minuet 3 (play through slowly and get familiar with the notes and practice slurring up bow between A and D strings).
Olivia
– Reminder: starting next week, our lessons will start at 5 pm again
– Recommended practice time: 30 min/day, 5 days/week
– Practice: review 2-octave Major and minor scales (try to memorise fingering patterns for each scale), Go the Distance (shifting areas and transition into ending section), Mirror duet (practice playing with YouTube video), and see if there’s anything you want to add to our Zero to Hero arrangement!
Hendry – congratulations on finishing Judas Maccabeas and Kishi Ou no Hokori!
– Recommended practice time: 20 min/day, 5 days/week
– Practice: C, D, E-flat, and F Major scales (2 octaves, and make sure to do your usual posture and bow hold check each time before playing), Musette (play through slowly and get familiar with the notes, if you want you can try it without any of the slurs and bowings first), and Question (focus on ending section and transition from syncopated measures into ending).
Thank you, stay safe, and happy playing!
