Quand trois poules vont au champ is a very well known French comptine.

This folk song Quand trois poules vont au champ [When three hens go to the field] is a must for every beginner on the violin.

It has almost the same melody as the English nursery rhyme Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and the French song Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman.

An all-time classic for all beginners on the violin, it is presented in this score with its joyful French lyrics (1 verse) telling the story of three hens going out for a walk in a most orderly manner.

The violin student should carefully place fingers 1-2-3 on the A string when going down.
