Lesson 10 Getting Ready for Concert






Just one more lesson before concert day . The programme is shaping up.  We said goodbye to Sadé today. We wish her well in her new home on Crusheen Co Clare

Ms O' Sullivan

Shake your hand down to the ground. Wriggle all your fingers around 
Hang your fingers right over the stick slightly apart now that's the trick
Lean your hand don't let it drop , little finger right on top 
Bend your thumb Bring it round Keep it curved to make a great sound 

Yo Bow Yo Bow To the left to the right and off we go
Yo Bow Yo Bow Up and Down and off we go
Yo Bow Yo Bow round and round and off we go
Yo Bow Yo Bow side to side and off we go.
