Guitar Lullaby & Chit Chat by Stephen Chin
These two delightful pieces of music are a must-have for young musicians! The first piece, "Guitar Lullaby," is based on a well-known ground bass melody that's easy to follow and allows students to explore a wide range of notes without any difficulty. It's played entirely with plucked strings, so upper string players may want to hold their instruments in a guitar-like position to get the full effect. The second piece, "Chit Chat," is a lively call-and-response piece that introduces basic syncopated rhythms to elementary string ensembles. It's an incredibly effective way to help young musicians develop their sense of rhythm and timing. Both pieces are so catchy and memorable that you'll find yourself humming them long after the performance is over!
