Pandas and Arcos

The following is from Suzukichat. I like the idea of having names for the different levels. I think it would be a good idea to have a name for each level and used by all the teachers in Israel. That would be useful for when we have workshops, which I hope we will do again in the near future.

I like Panda for pre-twinkle and arco for book 1. I think each book should have a different name. Other suggestions I have are zahav and diamonds, for golden tone and diamond tone. Dr. Suzuki always said "diamond tone". Maybe Gold Tones for book 2 and Diamond Tones for book 3. Would love suggestions from other teachers.



What fun and useful things do you guys do with this piece in group class?

I have my first group of the year on Saturday and plan to have the
Panda/Arco kids use this piece in various ways. The Pandas are pre-Twinkle and the
Arco are Book 1/2, they are age 3-14
