How to read notes?

After you learned to speak you learned to read, right?

So after the children have mastered the instrument note reading is introduced- in early spring of year 1
After 2 weeks they read  all new pieces.In the lessons from a large paper, to be memorised the next lesson.

That is why all performances are “by heart” – I love the English  expression over the Dutch: ” uit het hoofd”

Each note is given a special character, so the children know where to find it on thier violin once they read.
