savings plus one I love it I said the kids are always really engaged at these beginning steps because they're so excited about getting real instruments that are eager to do all the little steps that we gave him sometimes we're so involved in a little steps that we forget that we need to tell him that that's what that's waiting for we just get him into the nuts and bolts but it was a good class because they all knew why they were doing the things we're going to do and we'll see how it's going to relate to the the violin so they take that position building seriously from the get-go when we started out on the boxes and Bows the way that you saw that gives them the chance to spell does physical muscle memory emotions so when I do go to the real instruments are going to Make a Better Sound and play better in tune right from the beginning of having your hands on the real thing that's really valuable because there's a sort of stigma of beginning violin atrocious to listen to and we've actually slightly circumvent that because we can just set him up so upset about some of these kids are going to be on within I would say within a week because their balls are getting stable and that's that's this thing is bizarre stick with hair is always people think it's the left hand of the left and went to figure out a changes notes that's what it does this is our voice and so building these beautiful bolt has its job line and I think some of them are going to get there probably within the week and that means he'll probably be on a real instruments about a week after that once you get the concept in in them of how to change the notes then it's just a matter of singing the songs in episode that they have how they go in the tongue inside the Fancy Pants turn for that is Audie dating so they already ate the songs and then when they try to make them come out of the vial have something to build on and so today when I was teaching you so I was really particular that they match the pitch carefully and so I'm really making sure that every kid at least can match pitch so that when they're singing they're getting better and better and better songs go and then they can transfer that skill-set over to the violin by December and December these kids will probably play all of our twinkle variations a song called light hero it's a really pretty one which we think today another one called French folk song which has a scale built into it so we are still working at 1 and always Jingle Bells cuz it's the Christmas concert let me do this pretty Hanukkah song that's in E Minor that builds on that same finger pattern that they are also will do at least that and then we have our finishing song that they haven't gotten a chance to hear yet called the Lions prize which Disney just came out with another version of The Lion King so I've got like 15 more years in that song I get to use I'm really excited this is a great place for kids to make new friends cuz everybody's in the same page and everybody's a beginner and it's really fun and and so we the only limitation we have is how many kids we can fit in this room show me your teeth take picture day thank you for laying when was the fingerprint
