Slurring two string and notecards

The waltz I am working on introduces a two string slur which is a first for me. Samantha had me practicing this pattern by first double stopping the strings then alternating them. I will practice with a metronome. Also, need to exercise switching strings upbow, upstring, downstring, downbow, upstring, downstring, etc.

Another exercise is hearing flats/sharps by ear. Need to work on that one. but it is hard to practice without an instructor. But, I do need to work on my sight reading. I plan on making some notecards to practice playing notes without knowing the “song” by mixing them up and to increase my sight reading speed.

As always, more bow.
