We are getting there- how to keep moving ahead!

Thankyou Shivoni and Carol for the new photos- more to come!

GROUP 1-

This group is beginning to make REAL MUSIC!!  New Song next week. Make sure you know Long Long Ago and Lightly Row well by then!

GROUP 2 

HOMEWORK. Once every child can play the D scale AND Twinkle well, we can move into our books. Please help your little one learn these two important foundation lessons, so they can join in with confidence next week. They have the most fun when they are confident.

MUSIC STANDS Please bring @20.00 or a music stand next week, so we can try to start reading notes in the Method book. I need to know if you want me to purchase one for your child. 905-459-9606. Or matt.bampton@hotmail.com

NEW SONG We know that every student learns in a different way and at different rate, BUT those who practice consistently with an adult helper find it easier to move ahead By our May Concert we will have all the children playing together to make lovely music- GUARANTEED, some  as leaders/ soloists as well.   

For those who want to move ahead on your own, here is the next song. To hear the song, try You Tube: “Suzuki Book 1 Violin Tunes” Have fun working on this. If it seems to help you move forward we will add other songs as well.

Finger numbers (ARE IN BRACKETS) under note names.

“D0” means open D string,  “d1” means 1 on D string
