The Monkey Song

Violin/Viola

The words to the Monkey Song are:

I’m a little monkey

Climbing up a ladder

Climbing to the top to

Pick a green banana

I’m a little monkey

Climbing down the ladder

Climbing to the ground to

Eat my green banana

If you say the words out loud, you might notice they fit exactly with our Running Running Walk Walk bow pattern! You can play this song on any string using Running Running Walk Walk.

1) Open string

2) Step up to 1st finger

3) Step up to 2nd finger

4) Step up to 3rd finger

5) Repeat the 3rd finger

6) Step down to 2nd finger

7) Step down to 1st finger

8) Open string

Listen to how the sound steps higher and higher with each finger, and then goes back down as we take away fingers.
