January 23rd - First Group Class of 2018!

We have made it to the first group class of 2018!

There is a lot in store for today's class with games that include posture check in's, listening for mistakes and knowing what the practice spots are in our Suzuki pieces.

Upcoming events include:
An early PARENT ED Event NEXT WEEK on January 30th. 

Fiddle Class Registration is also available and due February 3rd.

Our next Recital is Sunday March 4th at 2:00.

We have a couple challenges at class which include the following:

What does INTONATION mean?
Do you know all the bowings to Two Grenadiers?

We will be focusing on these over the next few weeks.

I'm also checking in with everyone and their LISTENING HABITS. There is such a change in how we listen to music. From records, to tapes, to CD's, to everything being digital. How do you listen to music and how do you make it convenient to listen to music everyday?

I have been working on getting into a listening routine with Maggie which has consisted on making sure our music is available on multiple devices and organized into playlists. Then it's picking consistent times of the day that certain listening will get done. We have our classical Suzuki music that we listen to daily (normally at lunch time), our baby class music that we listen to in the car as it helps when we are feeling fussy, and then new music that we try out in the evenings to see if we like it.

SPOTIFY RECOMMENDATION: 
If you use Spotify, this weeks recommendation is to check out Liz Carroll's album Lake Effect. Maggie was dancing around to this last night... too cute!

That's all the updates for this week. Happy Practicing!
