Wonderful practicing Roshan- here you are showing all your repetitions to train your arms and fingers to play Twinkle, Variation A. You and mum are working so well together, doing your practice everyday. We worked hard in our lesson to check how each section goes and you and can keep working on this at home this week :)
 Max, your violin hold and bow hold are looking so comfortable and relaxed- this photo shows how well you are establishing beautiful technique. Well Done!
Here is a photo of your practice book- our "Blue Book"- showing your great work to establish your practice time at home. You have done 4 practices with lots of repetitions and also attended our Group Lesson on Sunday. You have learnt your first Twinkle- keep up the good work Max.

You have a great violin hold here Jackson, well done! You are making a good 'pizza table' with your first finger- just the hand position we are trying to make when we play our Twinkles. Keep up the good work!

Look at all the bow holds you practised before you learnt to hold your practice bow Harry! Fantastic work- you are now using your real bow and it's great to see how beautifully you hold you bow now for your twinkles. Keep up the good work.

What a great violin hold Mason! You are developing your ability to focus and it is so good to see you enjoying your violin. You are learning your violin hold and bow hold in preparation for playing the "Twinkle Variations"- keep up the good work.
