Record a video of you doing the full rainbow meditation exercise. These are slow and require focus. You are being graded on your focus and on following directions, not how perfect your sound is. Record a minimum of 3 meditations per week, one per day (not all on one day). You have a handout describing this in more detail and we do them in class daily.

A full sequence takes 3 minutes, and includes breathing, pizzicato and bowing. Shorter videos will not be accepted. I need to see that you're doing the breathing in all three sections (in through nose out through mouth), otherwise it doesn't count.

Metronome at 40 bpm.

2 Breath cycles

1 Pizzicato rainbow (8 beats per string, breath in breath out)

1 Bow rainbow (8 beats per string, down bow and up bow)

Detailed Explanations:

BREATHS CYCLE:

IN breath count 4

OUT breath count 4

This is one breath cycle

PIZZICATO CYCLES:

1 pizz. per beat while breathing IN for 4 beats.

1 pizz. per beat while breathing OUT for 4 beats.

This is a one pizzicato-cycle.

PIZZICATO RAINBOW:To do a rainbow, play from your lowest string (IV) to your highest string (I) and then back down. For violins, this looks like G, D, A, E, A, D, G. For cello and viola this looks like C, G, D, A, D, G, C. This sequence is called a rainbow. Please start on your bottom string. People are not really following directions.

BOWING CYCLES:

A down-bow is when you play with your bow from the frog to the tip. An up-bow is when you play from the tip to the frog. Play 1 down bow while breathing IN (through nose) for 4 beats. Play 1 up bow (from tip to frog) while breathing OUT (through mouth) for 4 beats. This is one bow-cycle.

BOW RAINBOW:

Same as pizzicato rainbow but with bowing. Play from your lowest string (IV) to your highest string (I) and then back down. IV-III-II-I-II-III-IV (low to high string then high to low)

Total time = 3 minutes

This is beautiful and challenging. If you can do the Meditation exercises then your sound will be amazing here. When you see the violinist's hand playing 4 finger, you can play open string instead.

Play and record an essential elements song assigned to you in your practice log. The songs are all under 1 minute. You can only record each song one time. If you've done all the songs, surprise me with something new. If you choose this last option, tell me the name and composer of the music at the beginning of the video and turn in the music score in class. If the song is appropriate we may showcase you in a performance.

Total time = 1 minute

Directions for 4th, 5th and 6th: stand in front of the mirror and make sure your bow is parallel and doesn’t travel. Get close to the fingerboard (not the bridge) and tilt the stick towards the scroll. To diminish scratching play in the middle of the bow not the frog, and tilt the bow. 🐸 Do bowing mediations !
