Children songs

[Nancy Bitter]

Hi everyone!! I have been teaching my grand daughter basic violin mostly via video chat.  She has basics down good & I was wondering any suggestions for a fun song to play>   She is 11. She has Happy birthday down & twinkle twinkle little star.  (kinda corny but didn’t know what else to start her on) Want to kick it up a knotch with a nice easy short song.

 

Thanks

Boil them Cabbage Down is a good beginner tune

[Great Scott]

Happy Birthday, Ode to Joy, Old Joe Clark, Morning Has Broken, Greensleeves, Fanfare Minuet.

I think Do Lord and a few other kids songs like that can be found on the beginner list. Also Liza Jane, Deep and Wide, Go Tell Aunt Rhody…etc.

Simple versions of Lord of the Dance and Cluck Old Hen are fun for kids.

UPDAT:::: I changed grand daughter first song at the last minute to BOIL THEM CABBAGE DOWN.  and it was a BIG hit !!!! Can I send a short video when she is ready???  This was the first day learning but that smile was oh so rewarding when  she lit up a smile I knew she was liking the song. Thanks for the suggestions!!!!

I started with Amazing Grace. It’s not too hard and it sounds really nice.
