BLAZING BOWS
Well done everyone , the class filed in and took their places very quickly and after our bow we practiced placing our violins in playing and rest position quickly without making a sound . We raced through some of our repertoire from last term. We practised Vivaldi in G and used the same riff for O Come All Ye Faithful. It worked really well. We did some left hand strumming . With Dana as leader, we played through Foxtrot . Continuing with our preparation for Christmas, we worked on a pizzicato broken chord accompaniment for Silent Night using all 4 open strings , the first time we have used all the strings in one tune . We needed just two strings to back Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. We jazzed things up with a new backing track for This is E putting our first fingers down firmly on our D string. We finished with our down up Rock You riff. Packing away was really smooth today and a special thank you to Mary for her help .
Thanks to Custy's Music for their designer teeshirt . Students - there were four instruments on my shirt today. Can you remember what they were?
