Basics is a collection of 300 practice methods and exercises for the Violin. It can be used by players of all standards, from concert Violinists to students. Much of the material is also suitable for teaching elementary players.
Each exercise is designed to achieve the maximum possible result in the least possible time. Some are very short and need to be done only once or twice to explore a particular aspect of technique. Others are practice routines or warm-up exercises that can be returned to regularly.

Here's another album of kid's songs performed by "The Merry Players". I haven't heard of them myself, but a number of the songs (especially ones on the second half of the record) sound like some of the same singers used on the "Songs to Tickle Your Funny Bone" album. I think it would have been a blast to be part of some roving band of studio singers that specialized in doing children's records. As many albums as there were, I think you'd be set for life (or at least as long as your voice held out)! Anyway, hope you like this one!
Let's Play School - The Rocking Horse Players and Orchestra This album is supposedly by the Rocking Horse Players and Orchestra, but it's really one of those albums that you know they patched together from other albums from other times (possibly even other decades). That lady sure hit the high notes on the Star-Spangled Banner though. If I played that as a kid it probably would have made my dog's ears explode!
According to the back cover "The Rocking Horse Players and Orchestra have written and produced hundreds of happy records for young folks to provide them with hours and hours of 'fun-a-plenty'". Hope you have "fun-a-plenty" with this one!
Created by award-winning educators, these easy-to-learn,
giggle-as-you-go games are designed to be both fun and educational.
These activities in reading, logic, science, measuring, listening,
social studies, and math are the perfect complement to your K-5
curriculum.
Get the fun and the learning started with games such as:
Bug Bite: Players flip over vocabulary word cards
and slap the table when a bug card comes up. Whoever slaps first reads
all the words and then keeps the card. The child with the most cards
wins!
Bull's-Eye Feather Math: Children blow feathers around a bull's-eye game board with straws as they sharpen their multiplication skills.
Geography Baseball: Players find map locations that are “pitched” to them. The more “hits” they get, the faster they score runs.
Fishy Facts: Players snag paper fish with a fishing pole and hook. If they can answer the question on the side of the fish, they score.
