Beginner Cello Class, Oct. 30

Remember to learn your 8 notes this week. Please do not add your bow to the string yet. We are working on the bow training exercises and want to proceed slowly so we can learn it properly!!

Rhythm 3: Practice the Example and #1-5. Pick any note to pizzicato.

Memorize #19. This means you can play it without music and know it by heart. You will have to memorize this before we add the bow to the string.

Bow exercises at the top of p. 12.

Bow exercise on p. 13, #37-39. Use a toilet paper tube with your bow to air bow and practice down and up bows. Down bows look like a table and start at the frog. Up bows are pointing their hands to heaven and start at the tip of the bow.

Practice all of pgs. 11, 12, and 13 with pizzicato only.

Keep up the great work!
