    PRE-TWINKLE SONGS

    Compiled by Nikki Routman

    Rest Position Song (sing to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle)


    Rest position, feet in line
    Scroll out front, that’s mighty fine!
    Check your bridge ‘cause it should be
    Peeking out at you and me
    Now it’s time to take a bow
    Ichi, ni and san is how!

    Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes


    For violin, the imaginary line runs through:
    Nose  bridge  elbow  knee  toe

    Bow Song (sing to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle)


    Up like a rocket, down like the rain
    Back and forth like a choo-choo train
    Round and round like a great big sun
    Bow on my hand; curved pinky, bent thumb!

    Wheels on the Bus


    The wheels on the bus go round and round
    Round and round
    Round and round
    The wheels on the bus go round and round
    All through the town.

    Move bow in small circular, counter-clockwise motion while singing.


    Two rules of the bow:
    1) CURLED pinky
    2) BENT thumb

    Also try it with:


    “The Windows on the bus go up and down...”
    “The doors on the bus go open and shut...”
    “The windshield wipers go swish swish swish...”

    V-V-Violin Song (sing to the tune of Frére Jacque / Are You Sleeping)
    V –V- Violin
    V –V- Violin
    Happy face, looks at you
    Curl your little fingers
    Over fingerboard now
    Thumb is straight
    Up and straight

    Hot Cross Buns


    Hot Cross Buns 2 1 A
    Hot Cross Buns 2 1 A
    One-a-penny AAAA
    Two-a-penny 1 1 1 1
    Hot Cross Buns 2 1 A

    Monkey Song (insert favorite color for the banana)


    (Monkey Song, going UP—play pepperoni pizza rhythm)
    I’m a little monkey
    Climbing up the ladder
    Climbing very high to
    Pick a pink banana

    (Monkey Song, going DOWN)


    I’m a little monkey
    Climbing down the ladder
    Climbing very low to
    Pick a pink banana
