Amanda Kerr - Practice Tools

Each time you practice, write down a sentence or two that explains what you did. Each day logged can get a sticker. Once you've reached 100 days, you are eligible for a fabulous prize!

Material posted below should give you an idea of what we will cover in group classes, performances, and recitals. Most material I teach is covered in the Suzuki Violin School books, American Fiddle Method books, or Kerstin Wartberg's Step By Step books. Additional fiddle tunes are my own arrangements that I have transcribed for instructional purposes.

(Current students can access some more materials by signing into the Student Portal.)
