The sight reading and note naming books have become essential tools in our daily practice. Many of our students are new to music reading, and these books provided the perfect foundation for building both confidence and fluency. I've seen students who once struggled to identify notes now eagerly race through naming challenges and sight-reading exercises with growing independence.\r\n\r\nThe finger tapes have made a world of difference in helping students learn correct finger placement, which is critical in the early stages of viola playing. With every instrument now properly taped, our class can play more in tune, stay together more consistently, and focus on developing their tone and technique without the extra barrier of pitch uncertainty.\r\n\r\nThe bow grips have also been especially helpful for students needing extra support with bow hold. This small addition has made it easier for students to maintain a proper, relaxed grip—setting them up for long-term success and preventing unnecessary tension or injury.\r\n\r\nLastly, the addition of a quality metronome to our practice rooms has improved the structure and consistency of our practice sessions. Students are learning the importance of steady tempo and rhythmic accuracy—skills that will benefit them throughout their musical journey.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your support. Your generosity has not only provided much-needed materials but also inspired a deeper level of engagement and enthusiasm among our young musicians. You are truly helping to build the foundation for a lifelong love of music.","fullyFundedDate":1731504295298,"projectUrl":"project/msaprils-viola-studio/8765352/","projectTitle":"Ms.April’s Viola Studio","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. April","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9743264_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1731623963386","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9743264"},{"teacherId":6522582,"projectId":8536353,"letterContent":"I hope this letter finds you well and enjoying the holiday season!
