Music for Pre-School

I have been introducing the violin to my pre-schoolers.  We had learned the five steps to hold the violin.  Hold 1, Tip 2, Touch 3, Slide and glide 4, Chin in the Chinrest 5.  Today I added the bow.  Several children got to make an “alligator mouth” with their right hand and hold the thumb under the metal on the “frog” of the bow and their fingers over the top of the bowstick.  I helped them play their two starting sounds, tremolo and changing strings.

Newsletter Templates

I made even better newsletters tonight using the templates, more color, better layouts. I improved the Rhythm Sticks newsletter for Level 1.1 Music Reading Readiness Kit Series.

I also created a Violin and Bow Hold newsletter. So much fun putting photos of students in them and writing the copy.

When I learn how to link the newsletters to my blog, I will do so.
