Description

The purpose of this packet is to help you teach your child how to play music without experiencing the frustration that often accompanies musical education. Frustration often leads to quitting before a child has the chance to enjoy making music. Instead of beginning with challenging concepts like many programs do, this guide begins by having your child play a song. Traditional notes are replaced with animal representations that will keep a young musician’s attention. Slide the song beneath the strings and pluck the string above the first animal note, then move to the next. Play songs like:

  • Eensie Weensie Spider
  • Happy Birthday
  • Head Shoulders, Knees and Toes
  • I’m a Little Teapot
  • Lazy Mary, Will You Get Up?
  • London Bridge
  • Mary Had a Little Lamb
  • Ring Around the Rosie
  • Rock a Bye Baby
  • Silent Night
  • Sleep, Baby, Sleep
  • Surprise Symphony
  • Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
