In this video we are learning Musette, the 2nd piece in Suzuki Book 2. It is by JS Bach, the same composer of two of the minuets from Book 1. We'll be using this piece to practice our bow division (more slurs) as well as smart use of our fingers on the fingerboard. At this point in Suzuki, we need to be very loose with our left hand fingers - using independent fingers more often, and also using fingers that are down to help us find the position of the next fingers.

p.s. Sorry i was a bit close to the mic this time, so the sound is a little scratchy.
