Songs from class to practice:

Rest Position Song
(sung to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle)
Rest position feet in line
Scroll in front that’s mighty fine
Check your bridge so it should be
Peeking out at you and me
Now it’s time to take a bow
1 and 2 and 3 is how

Rocket Poem
(for the right hand bow)
Up like the rocket down like the rain
Back and forth like a choo-choo train
Around my face like a great big sun
Stop at your nose curved pinky bent thumb

Hip Hop
(for cupcake fingers)
Hip hip hip hippity
Hap hap hap happity
Hop hop hop hoppity
Hippity happity hoppity
Hippity happity hoppity

This Is My Violin
(sung to the tune of Lightly Row)
This is my violin
This is where I put my chin
E A D G are the 4 strings
And the F holes let them ring

Here’s the front and here’s the back
If I drop it, it might crack
So I hold it close to me
Rest position, now watch me

I’m a Little Monkey
I’m a little monkey             (Open)
Climbing up the ladder       (1)
Climbing way up high to     (2)
Pick my pink banana          (3)

I’m a little monkey             (3)
Climbing down the ladder   (2)
Climbing way down low to  (1)
Eat my pink banana           (Open)

The Ant Plucking Song
(3 plucks on E string)
Each, each, each, each and every
(3 plucks on A string)
Ant, ant, ant, digging in the
(3 plucks on D string)
Dirt, dirt, dirt, all the way to
(3 plucks on G string)
Greece, Greece, Greece
