Berry, The Pink Panther - Jazz

Recess Boogie Woogie Level 1

Along with Morning Bus Ride and Lunchtime Jam, educator and composer Ron DeGrandis brings us solid teaching and terrific programming pieces to beginning level string students.

Two lively Irish/Celtic jigs, one in major and one in modal/minor, are skilfully scored for developing groups in this delightful medley for strings. The tuneful folk melodies are ideal for introducing triple-based meters to younger string students. Includes: Father O'Flynn's and The Gobby-O. (2:14)

Sparkle! for String Orchestra Level 1

A bright concert selection to showcase developing playing skills! This lighthearted tune sparkles with simple rhythms and easy string crossings, using notes of the D and G scale. Every section of the orchestra gets melodic material, sprinkled with pizzicato throughout. Add a bit of bling with optional bells.
