Day 33: Violinist age 5 plays Twinkle Variation D, “I Want a Popsicle”
Another Suzuki variation today - this one introducing the student to triplet rhythms.

But this student, who started in our very first class ever of Wayland Rec beginners, is very comfortable with the whole idea by the time of this performance and dispatches it with ease.
