Hey Orchestra Friends!!!! Lets review how to practice. The same way we would work together at school.
1) Bow hold check!...curved/straight pinky, curved index finger, two middle fingers meet the thumb.
2) Check out the bow hold review videos at the top for some extra help.
3) When practicing your D scale remember to say the notes out loud while you are playing. You can also just review the fingerings/note names with the left hand first then add the bow.
4) Continue to practice the songs we have been working on in our Essential Elements book.
5) Read the notes out loud and do not forget about the rests!!!
Watch the videos and use as a way to help you practice
