Fantastic morning learning from Kate Francis and Dr. Letitia J*p!
Kate showed us how to teach violin in a 9 week unit, including hands on experience for some audience members! Dr. J*p discussed how to assist our students in finding their sound on their string instrument. 🎻
Can’t wait for this afternoon’s sessions.
