Apr 27 - May 2

Monday - Lots of review with Sophi and Natalie and spent time on the minuets, happy farmer, and Gavotte too.
Tuesday - Just a few times through Gavotte. Violin is one of my favorite things so I really wanted to play more today (it's my birthday) but it was a very good and productive day overall.
Wednesday - just a little bit of review today with Sophi, most of my free time I was getting ready for family pics tomorrow.
Thursday - no violin, getting ready for pictures
Friday - scales with Sophi, Minuets, Gavotte
Saturday - Minuet with Sophi

Apr 20 - 25

I'm here at the end of the week and I see that I didn't keep track of anything, so instead of making up what I did each day, I'll try for a sum up. We didn't have lessons this Monday cause we're skipping a few weeks since Corey is looking for work. Our next lesson will be May 3, so I'm trying really hard to make sure the girls practiced and are progressing so we have good things to show Amy when we have our next lesson. I did G scale and tonalization while playing along to the Piano Guys (Fight Song and Sky Full of Stars) and lots of review with the girls. 

Sophi has almost got Etude down! I'm excited for her to start the Minuets. 

Natalie has learned Go Tell Aunt Rhody and we're starting O Come Little Children

Monday - review and scales, Gavotte part. Lesson, Amy said what she does for her practicing, so this is our new goal for practicing:
1) scale and tonailzation

3) review
4) note reading
She told me to do Stop, Bow, Go to make sure my fingers are in place on Gavotte before I start bringing the notes back down, so BDC#E stop EDCB
