To be successful and make progress, our string students should be spending 20 minutes a day practicing their assignments in a quiet space. Some students prefer to practice for their families as well. Remember to think about and work on: rest position proper playing position correct left hand position their very best bow hold intonation (playing in tune) rhythm (counting beats) What to bring to every lesson: instrument shoulder rest or rock stop set of extra strings book folder with handouts/sheet music pencil and eraser a smile! Remember that your practicing is continuing the lesson at home everyday!
