Minuet No. 3 new lyrics!
​I like playing violin; It sits underneath my chin
It sounds very nice when my bow stays right on the Highway!
I like playing violin; it sits underneath my chin
It sounds very nice when my bows stays close to the bridge.
(circle to middle- repeat first section softly)
My sound can be loud or it is soft when near the fingerboard too,
It can keep getting louder or softer again (tiny circle- above middle of bow)
Sometimes I whisper if i stay way up close to the tip.
I like to make my violin sing all day long.
(Circle to frog- repeat second section).

GAVOTTE BY F.J. GOSSEC

Gavotte by Gossec

I can play this long gavotte the whole way through.
I can play this long gavotte as well as you.
I can play this long gavotte just like you too.
Doctor Suzuki would like that too.

Can you play the second section just as well?
I can play the second section, can’t you tell?
I can play the second section quite as well.
Let’s all play the second section, ding dong bell. (Fine)

Let us take it all in turns to play.
I’ll play first, then fingers very quickly down the scale come jumping.
I’ll play a jump here and then a teeter teeter totter then running up and down.

I’m playing very fast and jump a-bout.
I’m playing very fast and I’m not out.
I’m playing very fast and I’m playing at the last so let’s play altogether round a bout.
(Repeat the beginning, then stop at the ding dong bell to end. Fine)
