Today we worked really well on our E minor scales and arpeggios. 

Please could you sing your scale in the following ways:

La Ti Do Re Mi Fa So La
E F# G A B C D E
1 high 2 3 A 1 low 2 3 E (or 4)

 

Please practise this plucked first. Take extra special care over your 2nd finger - your 2nd finger will play in the high position for F#, and then in the low position on the A string for C (natural - our 'secret' note). 

When this is feeling more confident, bow it using 2 bows per note (e.g. 1 1 high 2 high 2 3 3 etc.)

Please keep practising your E minor arpeggios, these are going well. (E G B E B G E or 1d 3d 1a E 1a 3d 1d)

Please make sure you can play the first 2 lines of Harpists Fingers really confidently and have a look at the bars I've outlines in your books for the last two lines.
