During our rehearsals students use the tuners before they come to my room for practice, and each passing week they are improving their skills to know what the pitch should sound like and how to get the correct pitch quickly. They have also used the tuners while they play to make sure they are performing the correct notes, which is another skill that teaches independence.

Holding the bow is not like holding a pencil, so beginning student's hands get fatigued easily since it is a new experience for them.

This has allowed them to practice longer since they have the support, and they hand is learning to grip it correctly as soon as they pick up the bow. My growing musicians were so excited to put their new grip on their bow and show their families how they correctly hold their bow.","fullyFundedDate":1760693773168,"projectUrl":"project/beyond-the-bow-enhancing-performances-w/9826510/","projectTitle":"Beyond the Bow: Enhancing Performances with Violin Accessories","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cali","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2957769_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1597022351483","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-cali"},{"teacherId":2957769,"projectId":9505400,"letterContent":"My students were in awe when they received their office boxes with their new supplies.

I cannot wait to pull out these supplies again when we start learning how to read and write rhythms and when I teach my composing unit. These new supplies have also helped with time management.
