BOWING part 1
1. Rabbit bites the carrots on the bow. Ten times.
2. Tap your pinky on the bow. Ten times.
3.Wheels on the bus circle around the face; doors on the bus go open and shut; windows go up and down; people go on and off
4. Bread song with tucka-tucka-STOP STOP
5. Down itty-Up itty (one quarter note with two eighth notes)


VIOLIN
6. Violin to the neck balanced on shoulder and clavicle. Thumb goes on the lower half of the violin. Make sure the violin is flat.
7. Finger pops. Thumb goes on the soft curved spot under the neck. Keep the wrist straight and fingers popping on the beach of the violin.

BOWING part 2
8.  "Whisper Tube" hold empty toilet paper tube up in the position that you'd be holding the neck of the violin. Put the bow into the tube and using the bow hand pull the bow in and out of the tube.  
9. Play the bread song--tucka-tucka-STOP STOP and down-itty-up-itty.  Aim to keep the tape on the bow inside the tube.
10. Keep the pinky on its tip. If it falls over or the hand becomes grabby  on the bow, then take the bow out of her hand.  Think "soft like a marshmallow."

Putting a rag on the bottom of the violin so the round part doesn't stick out into his neck.
