Violin Lesson
Song of the Wind--circles. First 2 rhythms is slow; last one is fast during the 2 count breaks. All circles come off the E string. Circles go slow like a snail. Practice freedom (strumming) circles. Remember the grasshopper jumping finger 3. Play it slowly.
Oh Come Little Children--memorize all the words. Practice sitting on the floor. Only allow about 1/2 a foot above/below the bow so that the bow does not move all over.
Up down, up down, up is the way we begin.
Up down, up down, up helps our mo-ther to grin.
Up down, up down, up's how we start every line.
Up down, up down, up means you're doing just fine!
The key is to make sure she has a "double up" from the end of one line, to the beginning of the next. To do so, she stops her bow after one up motion, then simply does another up motion.
I am a Child of God--sing the counts. Play slowly. You get to play it in Sacrament Meeting.
