I’m a Suzuki mom. This means I dragged my kids to music
lessons every week for years and years. It means I listened to recordings of
their assigned pieces every day right along with them. It means I encouraged
(bribed, threatened, whatever it took) them to practice every single day. When
they had trouble with rhythm, we danced together. We made up lyrics to help
them memorize the songs. One of our favorites (wish I could take credit for it)
fits the Minuet in G Major, BWV 822:
J. S. Bach had 20 kids. Boy, that’s a lot! He
Lived in a country called Germany and
Wrote lotsa songs there.
(Repeat)
Johann Sebastian Bach
Played organ and the harpsichord
He played the violin and he played the viola too.
Bach wrote a lot of music that we love to play.
Minuet One is so very fun so, thank you, J. S. Bach.
(Repeat)
