Lyrics to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" solo.  (Joyfully sing it while you are playing outdoors or doing chores!)

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky!
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.

___1.   Now you are practicing Twinkle C and the Twinkle D solo "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star".  To connect with the Twinkle D solo, learn more about the stars. Please watch one of the following videos or an article:

 *Optional Craft ideas

 ___2. When Twinkles A-C and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" has been learned, create a flashcard for each of the Twinkles. Place them in a jar or box. Each day that you practice, close your eyes and pick a card. The one chosen is the Twinkle of the day! (LH and RH played separately.) You will now begin learning new Solos in Suzuki Piano Book 1.  Be sure to practice Twinkles each day as a warm-up before practicing each of your Suzuki solos. Create flashcards for each new piece as you learn them to add to your flashcard holder. Check out Flavia's beautiful example below!
