Well done for your work yesterday Tharoon, you tried so hard and did so well. 

We talked about a couple of exercises for you to practice with your left hand. 

The violin sits between your left (index) finger and thumb. It sits at the base of the finger and behind the thumb nail leaving space for Klaus and Mouse. Find this position comfortably first, it doesn't matter where on the violin neck you try this (at the moment). 

Once this feels OK then can you lightly place your fingers on a string of your choice and move your whole hand up and down the strings. Your arm/hand/wrist/fingers need to be loose and relaxed and when you are moving up and down it will feel like your elbow is opening and closing. 

If this feels OK then choose one finger at a time to zoom up and down all your strings. 


We had a quick look at Vilanova and you played this brilliantly as a duet, really well in time with me. I enjoyed playing this with you, it sounded great. 

Have a quick look at The Hundred Pipers, just up to the rest. Say it and pluck it if you can. 

Have a lovely half term holiday.
