Weekly Learning Objectives

PLAYING GOALS: WEEK 3 (APRIL 12 - APRIL 18)

This week, we'll be working on some new skills with the bow—ties, hooks, and slurs! Watch the Part 1 and Part 2 videos attached to the assignment. They'll prepare you for playing your D Major Scale & Arpeggio with hooked and slurred bowings. If you're still having trouble with the fingerings for the D Major Scale & Arpeggio, review with the play-along video from your Week 1 Playing Goals before you jump into Part 2 of this week's assignment.
We'll work on these bowings in your private lessons, but you should also keep working on Spy Guy, Bluebird's Song, and Frere Jacques as you practice throughout the week!

PLAYING GOALS: WEEK 2 (April 5 - April 11)

This week, we'll be working on "Frere Jacques" and "Bluebird's Song". You'll find practice-along videos and sheet music attached to this assignment.
In "Frere Jacques," we're focusing on strengthening our pinkies (4th finger). Make sure your 4th finger sounds like the same pitch as your open A string. In "Bluebird's Song," we're continuing to practice our low 2s, and getting comfortable with the big stretch from low 2 to 3rd finger. Remember, the downward arrows over the notes mean that we place our finger lower than the tape.
When you're practicing along with me, always pause and rewind as many times as you need to before going on to the next section of the video. We'll work on both songs in your private lessons this week!

​Playing Goals: Week 1 (March 25 - April 4)

This week, we'll be working on a new song called "Spy Guy"! You'll find the music for this on the "Low 2s" sheet, at the bottom of the page. Our goal with this song is to strengthen our 2nd finger and to review the difference between High 2s and Low 2s. We'll also review our G, D, and A Major scales & arpeggios.

Use these videos to practice along with me for the next week and a half. It's okay if you aren't able to play along with the entire video right away! Just try to practice a little bit every day until you're able to play along with me. Remember, once you've got the D Major scale under your belt, you can use the exact same finger pattern to play your G Major scale & arpeggio (starting on the open G string) and your A Major scale & arpeggio (starting on the open A string).

I'll ask to hear you play "Spy Guy" and one of the scales in your next private lesson.
