Tips Teacher ChecklistPurpose Theory

• To learn the open strings (sight-sing & play)
• To learn pizzicato position• To play and sing notes in time
with the metronome
• Listen to the piece on the website• Try saying at different speeds,
with violin in rest position• Pluck in time with the metronome
and count to 4 before beginning• Say notes in time with the
metronome• Pizzicato over the fingerboard
for a more resonant sound
• In time with the metronome or piano accompaniment
• Violin in correct position• Notes are correct• Pizzicato over the fingerboard
When holding the violin both feet should be evenly spaced on the floor
Fingers in relaxed & curved position
Straight, relaxed left wrist in line with forearm
Elbow bent, forming a lovely “V” shape in students posture
Resting position: Violin tucked under the right arm with the bridge facing outward
The violin should be supported fully by the shoulder and chin. Use the chin rest and shoulder
rest for extra comfort and support
The right hand should now make a water pistol shape and the thumb should rest on the edge
of the fingerboard with the pointer finger ready for pizzicato (string plucking)

A double bar line marks the end of the piece
Ledger Lines are used to show notes above and below the stave
A crotchet rest is one beat of rest
Points for Parents
Animato means animated and Allegretto means at a
lively speed!
Sing with your metronome using the note names (fixed pitch).
Don't rush the Pizzicato (plucking)!

Bow Time!
The Bow hold
How to achieve it . . .• Hang the fingers of the right hand over the bow • Bend the thumb and hold the little wooden space with the tip of your thumb • Ensure your thumb is opposite your middle finger • Curve the little finger on top of the bow • Ensure the pointer finger is relaxed and leaning on the middle joint

Parts of the Bow Bold hold exercises
When holding the bow horizontally the little finger counterbalances the weight of the bow. Without the little finger the bow will drop.
Aim to position the bow approximately halfway between the bridge and the edge of the fingerboard.
Bowing Posture
Allow the weight of your right arm to relax upon the bow as you draw the bow across the strings. This weight on the string combined with the horizontal movement that occurs from
each bow stroke allows the string to vibrate thus creating a resonant sound.
Ideal bowing position
Exercise: Rockets- With your right hand, hold the bow with the tip pointing
to the ceiling. Your left hand (palm facing upwards), will be under the screw of the bow.
- Practise counting down from 5 as you tap your little finger on the stick of the bow.
- At the end of your countdown, slowly raise your right arm vertically towards the ceiling. Be sure to watch your fingers on the way up and down and correct your bow hold if required.
Exercise: Lift and Drop- With your right hand, hold the bow horizontally so the tip is
above your outstretched left hand (palm facing upwards)- Practise lifting the bow by applying pressure to the end of
the bow with your little finger.- Once the tip of the bow has lifted above your left hand by
approximately 10 cm, release the little finger and watch the bow drop onto your left hand.
- Repeat 10 times ensuring your fingers remain in the correct shape on the bow.

Points for Parents• To practise string crossing• To consolidate bow retakes and
straight bowing
• Watch the bow when crossing strings and ensure that it is straight and only touching one string
• Keep the right elbow in line with each string
• Keep the little finger on the bow relaxed except when retaking the bow
• Can play in time with the metronome
• Can play with a good clear tone• Can cross strings quietly and with
the correct elbow level

A semibreve lasts for four crotchet beats and can be said as "ver-y long note!"
Arco – Means use the bowMaestoso - Means majestically
Semibreve lasts 4 crotchet beats!
The little finger will be tense while the bow is retaking
through the air, but should relax again once the bow is
resting on the string.
The Left Hand
So far the left hand has served only as decoration, now we will endeavor to reposition the left hand into first
position on the violin.
Straight left wrist
Elbow at 'D' string level and lovely V shape between left
side and left arm

How to achieve it!
– Keeping good, relaxed posture place your fingers on their tips on the 'D string' starting with your 3rd finger (as marked above) then place your 2nd and 1st finger touching the strings. Ensure your fingers are placed in the position of E (1st finger), F# (2nd finger) and G (3rd finger).
– Now transfer your fingers to the G, D, A, and E strings. Your left elbow must swing under the violin to place these notes correctly.
– When playing on the E string, remember to tilt the violin a little flatter with your posture. This ensures that the sound resonates out to the audience.
Fingers pressing lightly on the string on their fingertips. All fingers are on the string where
possible and the thumb is opposite the pointer finger

Points for Parents• To consolidate notes learned thus
far• To consolidate learning of
detache bowing• To learn tenuto and
staccato bowing• To learn some new rhythms
• Use fast strokes in the middle of the bow when playing tenuto notes
• Use short and fast strokes in the middle of the bow with gaps after each note when playing staccato notes
• Can differentiate between the three bowing styles (detache, staccato, tenuto)
• Plays all notes correctly in time and in tune
• Plays with smooth bow changes, particularly in bars 1-8
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Staccato means short and detached. Staccato notes are played with a fast bow followed by a gap before the next note begins.

Semiquavers (sixteenth notes) can be said as "tika tika". There are four semiquavers in one crotchet beat. When semiquavers appear together they are often connected with a double beam.
