Suzuki violin students from the Talent Education Center and Santa Ana Suzuki Strings programs demonstrated beginning violin skills for the Irvine City Council. The students showed pre-twinkle techniques before the violin is introduced, and then progressed to playing variations of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" to develop proper form and technique. By learning multiple variations of "Twinkle," the young violinists gained the ability to hold the instrument and produce a tone, preparing them to learn new pieces and review past learning.
