- Your instrument. We can't do much without it.
- Music/folder. In addition to your book, you need to have a folder or binder to keep all your music in. I supply lots of supplementary material throughout the year that we will refer back to time and again.
- An erasable pencil. NOT a pen or marker or crayon or highlighter - A PENCIL. We take notes on our music. You need to be able to erase mistakes and changes.
- A good attitude. Violin and Cello are HARD! I'm not going to lie. There will be days that you don't want to practice. There will be days you want to quit playing. You will be frustrated and annoyed - ESPECIALLY in the beginning. Push through and I promise the rewards will be awesome!
