| Description: This bouncy piece is a great way to teach the dotted-eighth/sixteenth-note rhythm pattern. It also reinforces extended finger patterns for all instruments, while introducing the first violin section to third position. Although the suggested tempo is 80-96, use the best tempo for your performers, even if it is outside these suggested boundaries. The melody is played in all instruments except the third violin. In order to have an artistic and audience-pleasing performance, dynamics must be observed. Small crescendo and diminuendi can be added where the melody notes ascend and descend. |
