The “X” notes in the Beatles tunes are “chop” notes. Here’s an excellent video to teach you how to do this: https://youtu.be/QvSdj2Qmh74
Also, several alert cellists sent me information about the Corrette Suite. In case you’re wondering, there IS another movement, but I don’t have an arrangement of it. So we will only be learning the movements in the document below. Here is a YouTube playlist of all the music we’re playing: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_x7O6Uwhp8-EZWUV-Rfl2jgyf0DMwt8Y

I will be in touch with you individually with how many make-up lessons I owe you. All make-up lessons must be completed by the end of June.
I will be teaching summer lessons on the following days in IN WILMINGTON ONLY:

You only need to register and pay for 2 hours of lessons. If you take more, the school will bill you for the extra lessons.
You may take more than one lesson per week, if our schedules allow.
You may (should!) take some of your lessons with Ms. Rowena or Mr. Eric if I am out of town on weeks you would like lessons.
Please send me your day/time preferences in the Remind app and I will start working on a schedule.
Please consider attending the Youth Strings Camp (July 17-21) if you are age 6-12 and Book 2-4. If you are more advanced or older, consider DOCMI (August 7-11.) No auditions necessary for YSC. Call the front desk to schedule an audition for DOCMI.
If you are Book 1-4, and would be interested in a cello group class on Thursday evenings at the same time as the violin class (July 13, 20, 27 and August 3) 6-7pm, please let me know and I will see if we have enough students to run the class.
