Canon in D~ Happy Birthday! Oh! Suzanna Songs!

I teach all kinds of songs! I don't just stick to usual violin lesson book only but always photocopy/buy a book with very popular songs and many famous folk songs too! 

We always listen these music in our life! Have fun!! 



                              



Most of the students always got to receive extra sheet music except beginners! Learn to play some famous songs! They are: 


1. Canon in D 卡农 - By Johann Pachelbel 
2. Oh! Suzanna 噢!苏珊娜
3. Happy Birthday! 生日快乐!





The "Happy Birthday" song can be played with D string (shown as above in the sheet music). However, you may switch to play with G string or A string, using the same fingering method shown above, and be able to perform the exact melody of our famous Birthday song!

Some students feel amazing how can a same song can be played with different string, cool & awesome~~

Some students Ms Yap will request them to play by ear too~

菊花台-Jay 小提琴

Recently one adult student, Grade 2, asked me regarding this song 菊花台 by Jay, violin version. He self study on it. The final part he played weird,because the last part, forget to add in G#s and C#, highlighted in red circles.

He doesn't aware that the key signature has changed from 2 sharps to 4 sharps (#). Students, whatever songs you are playing, must read the key signatures!

Is Good to ask your violin teacher questions, don't feel shy or weird to ask! Keep it up all students!
