I'm 16 and next week I'm starting tutoring kids in 4th and 5th grade. 4th grade is when kids can join the orchestra in my town's school system. So they need lots of help with intonation and stuff since they're beginners. So I'm trying to get prepared because I've never taught or dealt with kids at all lol so I'm stocking up on stuff. I already bought a really cool "finger finder pull out card" that gives all the hand shapes for each key signature I'm pretty excited to use that lol.
But I only have advanced music books. Does anyone know of a book you would recommend me to start off the kids with? There are too many out there I don't know what is best. I'm looking for one that has catchy little songs in it and helpful with rhythm and things. I don't mean the Suzuki books because even the 1st one I think would be too advanced for them so I'll move into those later.
I'm also looking for a scale book to use teaching - one that is easy to find a scale in whatever key the song is before we play the song
Also, what should I be looking for when I'm tutoring them? Posture..intonation..what else
I don't really know how to go about the tutoring..I guess I'll find my routine after a few lessons.
Sorry that's so much.. I'm kind of nervous I don't remember what my tutor used for me way back then lol
P.S. Thanks for your advice!
