1. Go to the Orchestra group on Schoology and click on the folder for Activity #2 under the “Resources” tab. In this folder, you will find a handout to learn the song “Mary Had a Little Lamb”. Make sure that you download the correct handout, depending on your instrument.
2. This entire song is played on the A string. You do not have to switch strings or do any bow lifts. The fingerings are listed below the letter names.
3. You will use full bows for each note. The notes that have — after them are slow bows, just like we played in Part 2 of Holiday Hoedown. In order to play a slow bow, move your bow slowly from one end to the other. Slow bows should be 2 beats long and you should play a slow bow whenever a note has a — after it.
4. If you need help with anything, please send me a message on Schoology or have your parent email me.
