Violinbabies on its way!
For the past few weeks, I’ve been working on transferring the Cellobabies method over to Violin.
It was very easy at the beginning but I needed to do a rethink about how to build up the reading skills, bearing in mind that the violin uses a different clef and has an ‘E’ string. Anyway, I whizzed my ideas past my daughter’s violin teacher yesterday and got a thumbs up, which was really encouraging. I think I’m past the most difficult part of the adaptation and the rest should be plain sailing (I hope!) from now on.
I’ve started 3 more Cellobabies off during the past 2 weeks. I was really tickled when one of them said at her second lesson, ‘Please can we sing ‘Kippers & Custard’?’ Judging by the popularity of this song with Cellobabies past & present, I reckon I would have a No.1 hit with this song, were there a Pre-schooler’s music chart.
