Diary of a Suzuki Parent

Term 2 - Week 8

15 November 2011

Still working on the violin fingering. A new exercise for posture.  Holding violin without hand and then flying the fingers and hand into position on the A string one at a time and then flying the hand away again -- all without losing a good posture.  And Finger Drumming - tapping each finger in turn on a tin with the hand relaxed - to build up independant movement in each of the fingers. 

In the theory class they are doing music notation, and in the group lesson practice for the concert.  D can now keep in time with the rest of the group on a single string.
