Take classical violin lessons that develop both technique and emotional interpretation

During a recent violin lesson, Maya and Craig focused on enhancing Craig's playing. Their work centered on scales, fourth finger placement, and dynamics within the piece "Dance of the Tumblers." Craig's assignments included practicing G string scales, with an emphasis on shoulder relaxation, and recording the dynamics of "Dance of the Tumblers" for Maya's review. They also delved into bow technique and musicality.

During their violin lesson, Maya guided Maddey through various aspects of violin practice, including accidentals (sharps and flats), tuning, and rhythm. Maddey dedicated time to pieces such as Hedwig's Theme and King William's March, receiving corrections and guidance from Maya. For her practice, Maddey was tasked with focusing on the beginning of Hedwig's Theme, specifically its accidentals, continuing with King William's March, and confirming details about Goblin Walk with her mother.

During a recent violin lesson, Maya guided Craig, focusing on enhancing his playing through scales in third position and expressive techniques for "Dance of the Tumblers." Craig received feedback on intonation, bow control, and physical tension. For homework, he will practice shifting exercises to keep his shoulder down and work on expressive performance through facial expressions and body language.

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.

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.
