Hello Friend,
Are you looking for Christmas music for your absolute beginners?
⭐ Something that will motivate them in their early days to practice.
⭐ Something that makes them sound like their making real music from the start.
Amazingly, I have an entire section in the Stringosaurus Resources Hub dedicated to Christmas!
Last night, I was putting the final touches to my new, beautiful, mesmerising and uplifting Nativity lullaby play-along video. I honestly get tunnel vision when I work on these projects and I was loving the process so much, I accidentally had quite a late night!
I brought the Nativity lullaby into school today and tried it out with a pretty spirited group of Pre-Primary students...
You won't believe it, they were actually silent at the end of the piece which is a first! Lucky for me, considering I was very tired! 😵
Seriously, take a listen here with the sound on and you will see how calming it is... There should be a warning... Don't listen to this whilst operating heavy machinery! Ha ha ha
I'd love to hear your thoughts about this video! Features of this lullaby are:
⭐ For your absolute beginners to help them sound magical
⭐ Only a short amount of time to hold the violin in playing position
⭐ Sing then play
⭐ Singing the opening notes D-A helps build the inner ear and helps with pitch around the perfect 5th
⭐ Practice playing on just the D and A string with string crossings
The hub is a comprehensive database packed full with over 80 (& growing) fun and creative ideas, games, stories, play-along videos, and songs.
These transformative resources are aimed primarily for beginner violin students aged between 3-8, although many of the resources can also be adapted for older beginners.

Please hit reply and send me a hello! I love connecting with you.
Warmest regards,
