Sheet Music
PLEASE NOTE: the Beginning Violin Packet, as well as additional sheet music handed out in the Mozart class is for parents to use during home practice. Students can look at it to think about what they are going to try to do, and can look at it while singing the words. Beginning students are NOT to try to look at music and play at the same time! This would be like trying to teach them how to read before they know how to talk! Once the class begins note reading, students will have specific note reading assignments, and may then start reading music while playing. Thank you for supporting your child through this process!
