Train with a Juilliard graduate offering violin instruction to help you reach your highest potential

The session centered on the Student's Violin practice, primarily focusing on scales and an etude. The Student reviewed and practiced G, D, A, and E major scales and arpeggios, with a strong emphasis on improving intonation and correct finger placement for sharps and naturals. The Student was encouraged to practice all scales diligently, especially the newly introduced A major two-octave arpeggio, to enhance pitch accuracy.

The Tutor worked with two students on violin technique, focusing on bow control, scale practice (including G, A, D, and E major scales), and identifying key signatures. They practiced several Suzuki pieces, concentrating on dynamic markings (forte, piano, mezzo forte, mezzo piano) and articulation (staccato, tenuto, slurs), with significant emphasis on intonation. For homework, the first Student was assigned to practice and memorize Allegro, while the second Student was tasked with practicing Etude and Perpetual Motion in D major, with plans to introduce Minuet No. 1 next week.

The Student and Tutor practiced G, D, and A major scales on the violin, focusing on identifying sharps, precise finger placement, and proper bow arm technique. They thoroughly analyzed and practiced the "May Song," discussing and applying dynamics like forte, piano, and decrescendo, as well as tempo markings such as allegro moderato and poco ritardando. The session concluded with an introduction to the "Long Long Ago" piece, and the Student was assigned homework to practice all scales and the "May Song" with a focus on exaggerated dynamics and tempo markings for the next session.

Student and Tutor worked on violin technique, reviewing G, D, and A major scales, focusing on sharps, bow usage, and finger placement. They practiced pieces from the Suzuki book, including "Oh, Come Little Children," "May Song," "Allegretto," and "Andantino," while also learning new pieces like "Long Long Ago" and "Etude," with an emphasis on dynamic markings, tempo, and key signatures. The Students were assigned to remember the A major scale and practice "Etude" for the next session.

The student and Tutor practiced violin scales including G major and E major, focusing on correct finger placement, intonation, and bow arm levels. They also reviewed Suzuki pieces Andantino and Allegretto, incorporating dynamic and bowing techniques. The session concluded with an introduction to a new etude, with a plan to practice it slowly, paying attention to note reading and bow technique.

The tutor and student reviewed musical pieces and techniques on the violin, focusing on intonation, rhythm, and musical markings like "a tempo" and "ritardando." They practiced specific songs, discussed music theory concepts, and prepared for upcoming material in the next book, with plans to adjust the lesson schedule.
