Hi all,
Great to see you all yesterday......all 6 of you!
Well done on your echos round the room - some lovely ideas, good listening and copying back.
Can-Can - use this as your warm-up this week. Can you swap between pizz (pizzicato/plucking) and arco (bowing)? Here's a 'slower speed' backing track for you to play along with.
Make sure you check your bow holds!
Left-hand work - put all your fingers down on the D string - tap each finger 4 times. Then, with the bow, try playing 4 notes on each finger:
4 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0
Make sure you press the string down firmly. Use big bow strokes.
Fingers and Feet - have a go at playing this one. Make sure you hold the string down firmly. Here's the backing track:
Stephen has also asked that you keep practsing the things he set you on 1st March!
See you next week!
Rachel (and Stephen!)
