We had some  fun with Twinkle today.  Tip.  Try playing it pizzicato first 


We began by playing pizzicato before playing it with our bows.


 Don't forget the bowhold rules.   
    Thumb bent//Fingers wrapped around stick // Little finger  sitting on top 


We divided into boys and girls teams and  played the tune as a duet before playing together
