Cha Cha Slide Bunny

Thanks to one of my sixth grade students for coming up with a new name for the bunny hop:  Cha Cha Slide Bunny.  When you are hopping a finger from string to string, be careful not to squish the wrist and roll the finger.  We call this “rolling in the mud”.  Instead, be sure to keep your curvy rainbow as the finger hops from string to string.

The beginning orchestra students just learned “Song of the Wind”, or “Song of the Winze”, as I call it.  Notice how this fabulous cellist leaves his first finger down on the A string while his fourth finger hops from the D string to the A string.

Congratulations on a fantastic year beginners!!!
