Numbers using the same
colors are the same pattern.

REMEMBER:

Music is formed by patterns of sounds

that often repeat themselves so, if you

learn one pattern you will

automatically know it when it is

repeated later on in the music.

ABCDABCE

Here you can see colors representing

the different sound patterns with each

separate color given a letter name to

help identify the form of the pattern.

VIOLIN BEGINNING CLASS SONGS #2a: BY NUMBER; BEGINNING SONGS

Before we read the notes on songs using fingers I like to teach the song by numbers first. After the fingers are comfortable and the fingering and bowing are memorized, then I start teaching note reading while playing the violin.

Use this fingering pattern

(fingers 2 and 3 touch)

on all three songs:

Here are some beginning songs to try by number:
[ALL BOWINGS ON THESE SONGS START DOWN BOW AND CONTINUE DOWN-UP-DOWN-UP....UNTIL THE PIECE ENDS/IN THE BEGINNING STAGES OF BOWING PLAY ONLY AT ONE PART OF THE BOW STARTING WITH THE "UH" or UPPER HALF (MIDDLE TO TIP) LATER TRY THE "LH" or LOWER HALF (FROG TO MIDDLE) WHEN THOSE BOWINGS ARE ACCOMPLISHED THEN TRY THE SONGS USING THE "WB" or WHOLE BOW.]

Mary:(Can be played on each string/"0" means "open" string-no fingers down/play pizzicato first and learn the fingering before adding the bow)

2.1.0.1.2.2.2... solfege: mi.re.do.re.mi.mi.mi...
1.1.1...2.1.0... solfege: re.re.re...mi.re.do...
2.1.0.1.2.2.2.2. solfege: mi.re.do.re.mi.mi.mi.mi.
1.1.2.1.0....... solfege: re.re.mi.re.do.......


Hot Cross Buns:
(Can be played on each string/"0" means "open" string-no fingers down/play pizzicato first and learn the fingering before adding the bow)

2.1.0... solfege: mi.re.do...
2.1.0... solfege: mi.re.do...
00001111 solfege: dodododorererere
2.1.0... solfege: mi.re.do...

TO MAKE "MARY" SOUND SAD or "HOT CROSS BUNS" TO SOUND LIKE THEY WERE BURNT, LOWER THE 2ND FINGER TO TOUCH THE 1ST FINGER: THE MUSIC TERM FOR THIS IS "MINOR"






(THE ORIGINAL "MARY" and "HOT CROSS BUNS" SOUND HAPPY AND THE MUSIC TERM FOR THIS IS CALLED "MAJOR")


Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star[This song uses two adjacent, neighboring strings (one lower and one higher) so it can be played on the "G" and "D" strings OR the "D" and "A" strings OR the "A" and "E" strings/Again...."0" means "open" string-no fingers down/play pizzicato first and learn the fingering before adding the bow/numbers used for the lower string are placed lower, numbers used for the higher string are placed higher]
