This driving and exciting rock-inspired tune will shock directors when they realize it only uses open strings and first finger in all instruments! This is an ideal piece to either introduce students to the bow or to new strings. Complete with a bridge and short coda section, the piece includes an optional (and simple) drum set part.
Embark on a journey across the high seas with Neridah Oostenbroek's gusty piece that captures the rogue nature of Caribbean pirates. Featuring contrasting sections and techniques such as harmonics, pizzicato, and double stops, there is never a dull moment. Sure to be a student favorite! (2:45)
