While we all know we like to have fun over the summer and just cut loose from the school year, summertime is a great opportunity for all students to review what they have learned and to find some music that is fun to perform. Take the summertime to do the following:
- Review the skills you learned throughout the school year
- If your posture was not correct, take this time to relearn and adjust
- Find a fun book of music from movies or other things you like and learn the music, then perform it for family and friends
- Find a group of friends to play your instrument with
- If you want to have instruction over the summer, find a private teacher for your instrument
- Find some websites to work on music reading skills or refresh your memory on music symbols, etc.
- Some websites:Â Music Tech Teacher, Violin Online, Viola Online, and Cello Online, there are various other websites to go to also – just do a web search.
- Need any help or recommendations, please email me and I’d be happy to help
Things to watch for…..in the beginning of August, I will start posting scales, some sight reading pieces for various groups for upcoming auditions for small ensembles. All items will be either a word document or a PDF, so you should be able to print them from the web directly.
Enjoy your summer and see you in about 2 months!!
