Music has a steady beat or pulse. Just like your heartbeat, it keeps going all the

way through a song or tune. A fast tune will have a fast beat and a slower tune

a slower beat.

Tap a steady beat and chant the words of a song you know well. Keep tapping

all the way through.

Ready to play

3 Get-ready rag

Stand with your feet slightly apart and get ready to do each of the actions

along with the CD. For 5–8, hold your violin steady with your right hand while

you move to the music.

1. Rest position now, 2. Hold it out in front,


3. Lift it up on high, 4. On your shoulder now.

5. Feel the beat: sway on the spot, left and right.

6. Swinging hammock: swing your elbows.

7. High jump: tap your left hand on the strings or the wood either side of

the fingerboard.

8. Long jump: slide your left hand up and down the fingerboard.

First sounds

In these tunes, pluck the open strings with

your right-hand fingers. Make a big circle

in the air with your right arm, like this:

Sway and strum

Sway gently from side to side in time to the music while you strum the strings.

Strum… strum… etc.

At the zoo

Listen to the sound of each string, then play the note pizzicato—that means

plucking.

Super listener

When you can sing and then play ‘Jelly on a plate’ really well, try a high

version starting on the A string. Then play a low version—which string will

you begin on?

Be a composer

1. Make up your own tune by playing the pattern of the following words

on your open strings. Tap a steady beat and say the words through a few

times before you start.

‘I hear footsteps on the street.

Someone’s there with great big feet!’

2. Invent your own tune using notes from the boxes. Write your tune in

the heartbeat spaces—one box per heartbeat—and then play it from

start to finish.

Know your bow

Song time

Sing these words along with the CD and point to the different parts of the bow.

1. There’s the point and the heel and the stick in between,

Don’t touch the hair to keep it clean.

2. Turn the screw to the right to make the hair tight,

Rosin the bow and off we go.

3. Turn the screw to the left to loosen the bow,

That’s what we do when it’s time to go.

Picture time

Draw a line from each word to the correct part of the bow.

You turn me to loosen and tighten the hair of the bow:

I’m part of the bow that you don’t touch:

You rub me on the hair before you play:

You’ll find the heel at one end of the bow and me at the other end:

12 Yo bow!

Get ready to perform this bow-hold rap by holding the middle of the stick with

your left hand. The tip of the bow will point to your left.

1. Shake your right hand to the ground,

Wiggle those fingers all around.

2. Hang your fingers right over the stick,

Slightly apart now, that’s the trick.

3. Lean your hand, don’t let it drop,

Put your little finger right on top.

4. Bend your thumb and bring it round,

Keep it curved to make a great sound.

5. Yo bow! Yo bow!

To the left, to the right, and off we go.

6. Yo bow! Yo bow!

Up and down and off we go.

7. Yo bow! Yo bow!

Round and round and off we go.


8. Yo bow! Yo bow!

Side to side and off we go.

Down- and up-bow signs

This is a down-bow sign—pull your right hand away from the strings.

This is an up-bow sign—push your right hand up towards the strings.

Play this pattern on each open string:

Choose one of these patterns and play it a few times on an open string.
