Before, the students were rotating the few chairs that were available in my room, which didn't allow for proper playing posture and would cause them to slouch. Now, every student has their own stool, and we are able to set up the classroom in a way where it looks like a tiny orchestra! It forces them to keep their feet on the ground and their backs straight, which is perfect playing posture. The students can feel the difference. The stools also help to save space because they are stack vertically, unlike classroom chairs.\r\nRosin is a hot commodity in a string classroom, and now every student has their own, and I also have a surplus. No longer do the students need to ask -- \"Does anyone have rosin?\" They can just go into their case and get their own right before we start playing. Even if a student happens to have misplaced their rosin, one of their classmates can lend them theirs. This saves so much time before class, which there never seems to be enough time of when you are preparing for a concert.\r\nThe Bow Rights have been helping the younger students keep their bows straight, which is often a difficult task to accomplish.\r\nWhile I had planned to use the manuscript books this year, our concert crept up on us sooner than I had anticipated, so I will definitely be using them for next school year with my beginner violin students. Having them start by writing everything down will be extremely beneficial in the long run because when you write, you remember!
