Juilliard School Music Lessons for Composition, Theory, and Production.

The Student and Tutor worked on preparing the first movement of Otakar Ševčík's Violin Concerto in B minor, Opus 35, for an audition. They practiced several measures, focusing on note accuracy, precise finger placement, correct bowing technique, and rhythmic precision. The Tutor assigned extensive practice to improve note reading speed and execution.

The Student and Tutor focused on violin technique, specifically practicing the B major scale with varied bowing techniques (one to four notes per bow). They also worked on a Suzuki piece, following notes from the Student's in-person teacher, and were assigned to practice four specific lines of the piece, emphasizing correct pinky finger placement where indicated.

The Student and Tutor worked on fundamental violin techniques, beginning with tuning and proper bow grip, followed by practicing various bow strokes on open strings. They then focused on correct left-hand finger placement for notes on all four strings, including specific adjustments for the G and E strings. The session concluded with an introduction to and practice of a two-octave G major scale, with the Student instructed to practice all covered techniques for homework.

The student and Tutor began by tuning the violin and discussing proper bow tension. They then focused on practicing the "Perpetual Motion" piece in A major, specifically working on a variation that required doubling each note, alongside introducing and practicing the E major scale with its sharps. The student was assigned homework to practice these pieces and scales, with plans to introduce slurs and another variation in the next session.

The session centered on violin technique, specifically practicing G, D, A, E, and B major scales with varying bowing patterns and pizzicato. The Student also learned key signatures for various major scales and began working on Minuet 2, while discussing temporary aids for intonation and adjusting the next session's schedule.

The student and Tutor conducted a demo violin lesson, focusing on assessing the student's existing knowledge and introducing fundamental bowing and left-hand techniques. They practiced proper bow grip, bow tension adjustment, string names, and learned notes on the A and E strings. The session also involved applying bowing to a known song and beginning a variation of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," with a recommendation for the student to practice bow grip, left-hand notes, and get their E string tuned.
