Completion requirements
5. Shape
Developing the understanding of 'phrase' by introducing call and response into this piece

Teacher plays: upbeat, bars 5 + 6
Pupil plays: upbeat, bars 7 + 8
You can play the whole piece together using this pattern. It can also be particularly useful to isolate technical aspects of the performance. You can then swap parts with the pupil starting the call and you responding.
Work on effective crescendos within the forte at bars 19+20 and 37+38 - discuss bow length to achieve this.
