Pineapple (Var. D) and Ice Cream Cone (Var. B)These are sometimes the two hardest twinkle rhythms. Cross out one each time you play and see which one wins at the end of the week. Submitted by Amanda Diamond

A and Theme 100 times before receiving their twinkle trophy. The other variations are practiced as well and probably get played equally as much, but there is only requirement for these two in my studio.

 I cut either frog out of cardstock and they "hop" from space to space on the lily pads on the Long Long Ago chart (in particular the middle line of Long Long Ago where the finger hops to the D String). Useful when a student has to do many repetitions of a particular thing. I find this helpful in battling boredom when they have to do something many times in a practice session  Submitted by Amanda Diamond. Submitted by Amanda Diamond  Submitted by Amanda Diamond |
