Violinist age 9 plays “Allegretto” by Suzuki
Musical pieces usually have a clear structure somewhat like a Lego building, and when you can begin to hear that, putting them together from their parts is much easier! This one features the Three Bears, and is built in sections like this:
A1
A2 (almost the same, but a different ending)
B (completely different)
A2
Just as in the singalongs on Day 4 and Day 8, you can hear how the same music has (mostly) the same words. We’ve also underlined the A1 and A2 endings, so you can hear the difference between them.
[A1] In a place far away on a hot summer’s day, the three bears’ cabin stood on the edge of a wood.
[A2] In that place far away on that hot summer’s day,the three bears went away for a walk.
[B] First the big Papa Bear, then the kind Mama Bear; far away, with his chair, came the small Baby Bear…..
