Vamoosh Violin Book 1, Video No. 9: Circle of Madness (MP4)

I encourage my pupils to think about the circles they are drawing with their elbows when they play this piece. In bar 4 and 5 I ask them to make big circles with the arms as they retake their bows. I like them to exaggerate the accents on these down-bows to release lots of energy. I always encourage movement and dancing in the introduction and interlude of this piece.
