Class schedule:

Collective classes: Classes were organized in groups made up of 6 to 15 students, divided between beginners and intermediates. This division allowed for a more targeted and appropriate approach to the needs and skill levels of each group, ensuring better use of classes.

1st part of the class: Basic technique exercises

At this stage, students performed fundamental exercises for the development of musical technique, such as scales, open strings and bow strokes. These exercises are essential for improving motor coordination, precision and familiarity with the instrument.

2nd part of the class: Technical methods

After the basic exercises, the students began to study specific technical methods, which varied according to the level of each group. This part of the class was focused on deepening performance techniques, aiming to improve sound quality and musical interpretation.

This stage was dedicated to the practice of varied musical pieces, allowing students to apply the techniques learned in the previous parts and develop musicality, artistic expression and interpretation of different musical styles.

Throughout the classes, students had the opportunity to interact, exchange experiences and learn from each other, promoting a collaborative and enriching environment. Each student's progress was continually monitored and evaluated, ensuring everyone received the support they needed to overcome challenges and achieve their musical goals.
