STRINGSCHOOL Note for parents


STRINGSCHOOL  Note for parents   
The Holy Family String Project began with a number of introductory sessions covering violin hold , pizzicato on open strings  and a basic beginners bow hold.  In the course of the lessons we have been introduced to some aspects of music literacy including staff notation, terminology and some well known pieces from the repertoire . Given the pressure on the timetable of outdoor events and end of term activity, the last session in the introductory module will take place in September when it is intended the project will continue until May 2012. The classes have made a good start and have been a pleasure to teach.  You can review the activity on www.holyfamilystrings.blogspot.com where I have posted reports, photos and useful videos.   
The Holy Family String Project is an inclusive programme in line with the classroom music curriculum where all members of the class take part in an introduction to playing an instrument and is believed to be one of a few such projects around the country.
You can contact me with any queries on cdstringschool@gmail.com .
