| Preparation and Preview: |
- Any and all "pre-Twinkle" games and exercises.
- Open string rhythms.
- A major scale
|
| Special Technical Points: |
- All variations use small amounts of bow in the middle.
- Quick accurate placement of three fingers.
- Careful, quick preparation of both fingers and bow: set the bow.
- Ringing staccato tone
|
| Special Musical Points: |
- Accurate rhythm.
- A-B-B-A form (eg. bread, cheese, cheese, bread, or apple, banana, banana, apple).
|
| New Ideas (Review, Group Class, etc.): |
- Theme can first be done with bow division (quarter note gets half-bow,
half note gets whole) and later with bow speed (use all whole bows, but slower on
half note).
- All can be transposed to other keys as appropriate.

Comments: |
- Constant review of Twinkles really pays off!
