What is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star based on?
'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' is based on a 19th-century English poem, written by Jane Taylor. The poem, which is called 'The Star', is in couplet form so lends itself well to a simple children's song. It was first published in 1806 in Rhymes for the Nursery, a collection by Jane Taylor and her sister Ann.
How long does it take to learn Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?
In my studio it can take children from 6 months to one year to complete their Twinkles. This is perfectly acceptable. While every child learns at a rate unique to them, the Twinkle process is a long one and it helps for parents to know this upfront.
