Spider Spray – an easy violin piece to introduce first finger B flat

A student of mine composed this.  I think it’s hilarious!  He was telling me about a spider adventure – obviously the spider met with an unfortunate end, but it was a great excuse to compose a song! It’s probably a first grade easy song – with a D minor 5 note pattern on the last &hellip Continue reading »

The Frog in the Bog – String Group Easy Violin Trio

Another fun String Group song.  This one introduces triplets. I recommend singing it first, to get the feel of the triplets, then clapping it. The violin 3 part is fantastic for beginners.  Violin 1 and 2 are perfect for 1st and 2nd year students. Here’s the score of The Frog in the Bog: The Frog &hellip Continue reading »

This is a really simple open string and 1st finger song I wrote for my beginner students to play in their String Group. I played first, and had them all copy me.  I gave them all the score (not separate parts) so that they could learn to follow along what was being played. I had them sing &hellip Continue reading »

Here’s my arrangement of Ode to Joy &hellip Continue reading »

Beethoven Movie Theme Exerpt

I had this theme stuck in my mind since the beginning of the year and I wasn’t sure why, as I hadn’t watched the movie for many, many years.  ‘Beethoven’ is about a family who ends up with a very cheeky, loveable and protective Saint Bernard named ‘Beethoven’. The music is written by Randy Edelman, &hellip Continue reading »
