Well done Larks! Your slurs are really coming on, and we had some fab team work too.
As a warm up please practise slurring:
C# ~ B A ~ G
or
2a ~ 1a A ~ 3d
5 times :)
Start these slurs on a down bow.
The reason for practising this little exercise is to focus on the really tricky bit of slurring our scales going down. Every single one of you managed this little exercise on Saturday, so keep up with good work. Half a bow per note if you can.
Gypsy Fiddle
This was starting to sound really good. I'd like you to please practise the whole thing so we can play it with accompaniment in next lesson, and then start our next piece :D If you are getting through it and finding it fairly straightforward, perhaps you could ad your dynamics (louds and softs/forte and piano). It needs to be confident and fluent please.
I attached the music to a blog post from 2 weeks ago, so use that if you haven't got the book yet.
