An observable violin lesson featuring Santi, one of my pre-twinklers, is up on my Youtube channel!

This video captures our tenth lesson together. This week Santi was recovering from a cold, and you can watch us navigate his cough and fatigue in the lesson. This is one I had to struggle to keep productive– but because of that you can see of few of my strategies for behavior management and lesson pacing!

Watch the video below or on youtube.
