Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Viola Notes Letters

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Viola Notes Letters – These scales are arranged in an “add note” style to help students slow down and isolate intervals, which will lead to improved intonation. The scale is broken down into 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 notes so that the musician hears the tones in context. Having a worksheet keeps the student organized by giving them a clear diagram of what to follow and how to practice.

If you have a student who is struggling with understanding and/or performing down and up bows, these studies will help support you. To view and purchase all 7 beginner violin bowing studies click HERE.

I was recently revising my holiday and Christmas music collection and was hesitant to include this trio arrangement for First Noel.

John Kendall is the man responsible for bringing the Suzuki philosophy from Japan to America. He was a man of great vision and a huge, warm heart. I felt very fortunate to be his neighbor when I lived back east. He would give me free adult lessons and make me his famous peanut butter and alfalfa sprout sandwiches served on his wives’ beautiful handmade plates. He taught me so much that years later I still take it and integrate his lessons. John was so comprehensive and organized in his approach that he gave anyone the impression that they could master playing the violin. This shift sheet will give your students such a solid foundation when practicing shifts that they will be empowered in the process.​​

I recently realized that I transcribed this into the wrong time signature and it should be in 6/8, not 3/4. I will fix it as soon as I can. Thanks, Heather
