Mar 9 - 14

Monday - Lesson today, and I told Sophi she could go to Activity days after school, so it was just Natalie and me, and I didn't think to check if Natalie's violin was in her case, and I didn't notice it right there on the wall in front of me, so when we got to the lesson I opened her case to help her get ready and gasp, it was empty! So I got a 45 minute lesson to myself and then Natalie did 10 minutes of pitch and rhythm practice. Learned the difference between Intonation and Tonalization, new words" hooked bows and spacatto.
