3rd Grade Violin-
All 3rd grade students will meet for a 40 minute group violin class every other day. Students will learn the basics of violin posture, playing technique, playing as a group and note reading skills. We have a class set of instruments for student use in school. Students who are interested may also rent a school instrument for home practice as well.
In order to see progress and to prepare for our concerts, students are expected to practice a few minutes every day at home, even if they do not rent an instrument, by singing the songs we are working on, working on the exercise for playing posture and position and music reading/writing assignments.
Please be aware that all 3rd grade students are expected to participate in both the Christmas and Spring concerts. They will be working very hard to prepare their chorus and violin songs for you! See the homepage for dates/times.
In 3rd grade, we begin working on note reading/music literacy. The links below will help you practice your treble clef note reading skills. Have fun!
