There are several practice strategies below to help you at home!
1. Tune your instrument daily. Tuner link here.
*Beginning students - please don't try to tune your instrument at home. I will tune the violins/violas in class. Bring your cello or bass in once or twice a month to get tuned.
2. Use a metronome to help you keep a steady beat while you practice.

3. Practice in small sections and try to play those sections at least 5 times in a row correctly.
4. Pay close attention to your posture & position. Check your left hand shape, bow hold and body posture.
5. Don't get frustrated! If you're having difficulties, practice more slowly and try to make a beautiful sound. You'll get there - be patient!
