Hi 3rd graders! Here's a reminder of what we did this week.
CONCERTS! Congratulations on your performance in your in-school concert!
In lessons, we also...
Discussed how to prepare our bows for strings! We reviewed the parts of the bow, learned how to tighten the screw to playing position (righty tighty, just a few turns) and how to rosin our bows. Then, we found a part of the bow called the balance point, formed our bow holds there, and did some bow games on the real bow! We also reviewed where the bow should play on the string: the "bow highway" is between the bridge and the fingerboard. The bow should never cross the fingerboard.
Students who completed their Bow Hold Learner's Permit (and got it signed by an adult at home) received their Bow License!!
Try to FINISH YOUR BOW PERMIT if you have not already so you can get your license!
