Questions teachers and parents should ask every day:
Are the students listening to the recording at home every day?
Has the tone improved?
Is the intonation correct?
Has the proper playing posture been acquired?
Is the bow being held correctly?
Review how you’re playing:

2. Is the tip of your bow steady?
3. Is your bow in good contact with the string?
4. Is your bow moving parallel to the bridge?
5. Is the scroll of the violin parallel to the floor?
6. Are you avoiding tension in the left hand?
7. Are your fingers curved correctly when placed on the string?
8. Are you listening carefully for accurate intonation?
