3rd Grade Program
About/Expectations: Students will have one 25-30 minute violin lesson each week. They are expected to be at lesson each every week, unless they are absent from school. There will be a lesson schedule posted in the classroom showing which class or group goes for lessons. Classroom teachers will do their best to remind students in class, but it is the child’s job to make sure they know when they have lesson. Please take note of the DAY of the week your child needs their instrument. This will differ according to school.
Practicing: Please encourage and remind your child to practice! They will have a practicing assignment each week which will be covered in lessons. Recommendation for practicing time is at least 1 hour a week! Broken down, thats 15 min/ 3-4 days a week. Improvement and progress on an instrument is strongly correlated to how much time your child spends practicing the instrument. Please support them in any way you can.
Method book/ Curriculum: In addition to the instrument, students are responsible for bringing sheet music and other accessories (rosin) to every lesson. For violinists, this includes the shoulder rest. Other materials might include supplemental sheet music which I will distribute in class. They should keep these in their lesson folder.
