Go Tell Aunt Rhody
Go tell Aunt Rhody I love violin. I practice daily and I love it so.
First playing loudly,
I use lots of bow,
Then playing softly, with less bow.
Go tell Aunt Rhody I love violin. I practice daily and I love it so.

ViolinPractice Method Go Tell Aunt Rhody
French Folk Song
Smoothly and gracefully we move the bow,
Down and then up and then just let it flow.
Dance in three, dance in three, use a slow bow.
1 – 2 – 3, 1 – 2 – 3,
let your sound grow.
Use lots of bow as you go way down low.
