Hi all!
My 13 year old daughter is learning Cello at school and is really struggling with rushing notes. Her quarter notes are fine, but she struggles with holding her half and whole notes the whole duration. I played Trumpet for years and have tried every technique I know of to help her (clapping notes, playing just a single note to get the rhythm, giving her visual cues etc), but alas, we’re striking out.
I’m so proud of how far she’s come in such a short time, but I want to help her get past this hurdle. Any ideas/techniques we can try?
