HOW TO:

MAKE YOUR OWN VIOLIN

I know that only a small number of children in our violin classes in Sligo have access to a violin at home, so during the Covid -19 crisis, it might be fun to make a simple violin that we can pretend to play on whilst listening to the pieces we have already learnt today.

What you will need : Tissue box or cereal box

Paper towel roll or empty cling film roll

Chopstick or long stick

Markers ( Black, Green, Blue and Purple)

Tape

If you have more time on your hands and access to a printer you might like a template to stick on top.

Have a look at this website: https://www.fiddleheads.ca/downloads/my_first_violin/fiddleheads_first_violin_template.pdf

Now that you have made your violin, why don’t you try playing along with the pieces that you have already learnt.
