I plan to get SB’s violin out [1/10 size] in a regular basis, and am at the moment encouraging holding the violin and bow, and ,letting her make god-awful noises!!
We will then go to trying to make decent noises of open strings. Finally the concept of moving fingers around [aided and abbetted by coloured dots]
In my home ed programme, I hope to introduce notes names on the piano, and just move them accross.

All the best for the concert anyway :)
