Take classical violin lessons that develop both technique and emotional interpretation

In a recent lesson, two students, one a dedicated learner from Sunnyside, collaborated on the King William's March. They honed their bowing techniques, rhythm, and dynamics, paying close attention to staccato and accents. One of the students took the opportunity to explain the musical term 'simile' and illustrate its application within the piece. The other was tasked with practicing Hedwig's Theme and providing pictures of Goblin Walk and King's March.

In a recent lesson, Maya guided Craig through various violin techniques, specifically focusing on fourth-finger stretches and shifting exercises. They also spent time analyzing the piece "Dance of the Tumblers," where they discussed bowing techniques, musical notation, and dynamics. Craig's assignments from Maya included practicing sight-reading "Dance of the Tumblers" and forwarding the other three pieces needed for the upcoming orchestra.

In a recent violin lesson, the student focused on developing violin techniques, specifically addressing note durations and accidentals within Hedwig's Theme. The learner, who resides in Tahoe Park, also performed Goblin Walk and engaged in a discussion about its structure. For homework, the student is tasked with sending a picture of the Goblin Walk sheet music and continuing to practice Hedwig's Theme, paying close attention to counting and accurate accidentals.

During a cello lesson, Maya Litmanovich assisted Craig Lending in refining his cello technique, emphasizing intonation, finger placement, and bow control. Craig practiced scales and a particular piece, exploring dynamics and ornamentation. For homework, Maya assigned open string practice, encouraging minimal shoulder movement and a focus on the piece's musicality.

In a recent violin lesson, Maya Litmanovich guided a student through exercises and techniques designed to enhance their intonation, rhythm, bow technique, and understanding of dynamics. The learner, who resides in Fresno, performed the 'March from Cypio,' receiving feedback on their performance. For the upcoming lesson, scheduled for the following Monday, they were assigned scales in third position and tasked with exploring various dynamic interpretations of the piece.

In this online violin lesson, Maya Litmanovich guided Craig Lending in refining his shifting technique, intonation, and overall comfort on the violin, particularly focusing on the G string and third position playing. Craig practiced scales and shifting exercises, and Maya provided real-time feedback on his hand position, elbow movement, and bow technique. Maya assigned exercises for home practice, will send fingerings for the piece in third position, and rescheduled the next lesson for July 16th.
