This is how you shift, this is how you vibrate, practice EVERYDAY, this is what
fingers to use, clean up after yourself, clean the wing, use your practice time
efficiently and wisely, why haven’t you practiced? Practice days aren’t enough, this
curriculum is to train young musicians, It is important to review your music, your
going to meanie poo jail, you MUST be in the wing by 12:30, if not your marked
absent, you did a really good job, it’s okay your learning something knew and it’s
okay to make mistakes, what note is that? C#? Count that again, play with me,
now by yourself, let’s subdivide eighteenth notes, let’s subdivide sixteenth notes,
your playing a B flat, Stella, use your metronome, not gonna lie I thought today
was Monday, is that a low or a high C#, Stella? You need to rehair your bow, who
wrote these fingerings? Tim. How many times a week do you have Tim? Once a
week. No you can’t have Tim once a week, have you sent your sheet music to
Marianne? Do you have iReal pro? Grab a pencil, your intonation is really good!
Have you gotten your violin checked? It’s like taking your violin to the doctors
office, Stella your going to do a compliment sandwich, record yourself, play
sharply as if your pushing Kennedy away, relax your shoulder, loosen up your bow
wrist, spread your feet like your balancing on a train, play the rhythm correctly,
your supposed to be in sync with Gabe on measure #, play your melodious
doublestops and your Wohlfahrt Etude #6, I'm not gonna play Sanctus this time
so I can listen to you guys. For the jazz showcase you will play Cantabile,
Hallelujah, Sim Shalom, and Sanctus.
