Its lovely long ears will listen to make sure you are playing in tune. Turtle - Turtles move very slowly - like you should when you are practicing a new piece or a difficult passage. Blue Bird - Let your instrument sing like this beautiful blue bird. Baby Chick - This sweet chick is a reminder to have a soft bow hold, gentle pressure when shifting or sweet tone.
