I recently had the pleasure of helping my very first violin students perform in their very first recital. The group, which I co-taught with other ECU Suzuki Pedagogy students, demonstrated for their parents and schoolmates the various exercises they have learned: clapping and singing rhythmic variations; standing in rest position and moving to playing position; bow control exercises; and playing two rhythmic variations on the open E string. I’m quite proud of all that these dear preschoolers have accomplished since October 2010! (I think their parents were, too!) You can watch an excerpt from the program below!
