Pre-Twinkle Repertoire & Information
Parents of Pre-Twinkle students are expected to help their children with the performance. All students will participate up through Carnival in Rio and only students doing The Steps will perform the last two pieces. We will discuss in your lessons which pieces your child will be participating in for the performance. Please start by practicing the recordings with cues first and then without cues in the coming weeks. There will minimal cues at the performance and we will practice this in group class and lessons.

Late Book 1 - Duet Parts
Students who playing past the Minuets should learn the duet parts for the Pre-Twinkle songs Santiago Sunshine, Winter Time, and Carnival in Rio. I have provided recordings for all the Pre-Twinkle parts and sheet music with the note names listed. All of the notes are on the E & A string, using the 12 and 23 finger patterns, with the exception of Santiago Sunshine which has a “low” 1st finger pattern.
I would recommend learning the duet parts in the following order:
Carnival in Rio
Winter Time
Santiago Sunshine
