Movement Building Blocks
The Purpose of Movement
Designed for children ages 3-6, these whimsical and fun exercises help young beginners master the complex movements of playing the violin while singing enjoyable songs that form the Kaleidoscopes violin repertoire.
Violin posture problems often arise when various parts of the body haven’t yet learned to move independently. For example, an effort to bend one finger results in several fingers (and the thumb) bending as well.
The current set of Violin Movement Building Blocks can be found in The Balanced Violinist, the technique companion to Kaleidoscopes Book 1.
PARENTS: The Kaleidoscopes YouTube channel features a searchable playlist of Movement Building Blocks, designed for your child to sing along.
