Third finger work-out on the A string

Note Bank:

In these exercises we will be using three notes:

open string A, 1st finger B and 3rd finger C#.

Rhythm Bank:

We are going to be using crotchets (walk),

quavers (running), and minims (stand).

Create your own tune:

Choose a bar from each of the lines above and re-write them below to create your own pattern.

There will be one bar left for you to write yourself.

Do let us know how you get on! Share with us at office@NMPAT.co.uk

Now try these!

Create your own tune:

Now make up an 8 bar tune using bars from any of the 3rd finger exercises and don’t forget to

add your own too. Give your new piece a title and play it to a family member or friend.

My piece is called:________________________________________

Remember to use more bow on

the longer notes...

...and less bow on the

shorter (running) notes.
