Teaching Content 1. Left Hand Third Finger Training • On the basis of a steady second finger, add third finger string pressing • Independent lifting and pressing training for the third finger • Alternating exercises between the second and third fingers Lesson 4 Teaching Video (Third Finger String Pressing Demonstration) 2. Left Hand Overall Framework Consolidation • Check the natural positions of the first and fourth fingers • Ensure all four fingers maintain correct hand posture 3. Comprehensive Review • Review Lesson 1: Whether bow hold and violin posture remain standard • Review Lesson 2: Whether bowing is stable and metronome coordination is accurate • Review Lesson 3: Whether the second finger hand posture has deformed • Connect the content of all four lessons to perform simple musical phrases 💡 Teacher Hao Says: Review is not going through the motions — check each item and correct each item one by one. The third finger (ring finger) is the weakest, so do not rush for speed; focus on quality. After this lesson, students should possess a complete basic framework for both hands and be ready to enter the next stage of learning.
