Practice Pets

Play the bread song in the whisper tube with every rhythm variation you know.  Left elbow must be above left toe. Bow hold must be correct. stickers on bow must be hidden in the whisper tube (don't play in the tip of frog area of the bow) every day for 10 days and you earn me!

Play down-iddy-up-iddy rhythm on A string.  Stop and drop, the on E string. Make sure the "stop and drop" is quiet and clean. Ten times a day for four days and earn me.

Play "I'm A Little Monkey" with table top fingers, in tune for five times a day then you can have me! Oh, I love Sarah!

Do the "The Wheels on the Bus" song with a perfect bow hold: bent thumb, round fingers, pinky on tip, gentle grip, not tight. Must be done S L O W L Y. Be sure to do the wipers, the people, the doors, the wheels, the windows. If done SLOWLY every day for ten days, you earn me!  Practice Pet says, "Wow, Sarah is sure getting better at violin! :D

Put your violin up in perfect posture and hold it there for an entire Twinkle (turn on the CD). Feet must be in play position; eyes looking at the strings, bow resting on E string on the bottom sticker. Left hand in first position without Thumbelina screaming, left hand is a slippery slide wrist, left elbow is over left toe.  Do this every day for five days and you earn me! :)
