Key Points

  • First of all make sure you violin is in tune.

  • You will start by plucking the violin.

  • Pieces 1 & 2, play each one through twice.

  • Practise with the student's track until you are comfortable and then try the duets.

  • Piece 3 is a little more difficult because you are changing strings so take your time.

  • Gradually reduce the amount of time you spend looking down at your fingers and instrument. Bit-by-bit keep your eyes on where you are in the music.
