-We worked on vibrato. It was hard. Some people feel they are getting better. Some don’t.
-There is a cartoon on the board of 3 mice playing the violin and two have patches on their eyes. We created captions for the cartoon last week and voted on our favorite captions this week. We ranked them 1-5 (1 being your favorite and 5 being least favorite)
-We worked on accents in A Scottish Journey because we weren’t playing the accents very well.
-We learned some new bowing exercises!!! The new ones were wind shield wipers and rolling the bow, and reviewed rocket ship with life savers
-When we rehearsed Toccatina, we used the talking metronome to help us keep from slowing down.
- We practiced phrasing in A Scottish Journey and Japanese Lullaby.
