A metronome is a device that keeps a steady beat and helps you play with precise rhythm. Below are links to various metronomes/beat tracks.
The easiest way to find a metronome is to simply Google the word 'Metronome' and one will appear on the screen!
Here is another metronome site.
If your instrument goes out of tune before our next class, please take it to the music store to have it tuned.
You can practice if your instrument is out of tune. Put your bow UNDER the strings (carefully) and pull the bow while you practice the notes. It is not ideal, but it is better than not practicing at all.
Don't worry, the rosin powder that gets on your instrument will wipe off very easily!
