Christmas Group Lesson 2009

This was our first Christmas in our new home and group lessons were festive! This Mickey violinist was one of our object lessons. It is impossible to demonstrate in a picture but poor Mickey can't bow straight and my very smart students figured out quickly just why. His elbow doesn't bend! That's right, in order to bow straight our elbows (and all the other joints in our arm/hand/fingers for that matter) must bend. It is a huge technique issue and it was fun to have Mickey teach us just how important the flexibility of our joints are in violin!
