Description:
Written to help students develop their spiccato bow stroke, this energetic piece is a joyful celebration from the very first measure. The left hand challenges are minimal, allowing the players to focus on controlling their bow on and off the string. A contrasting call-and-response 'B' section in minor mode briefly slows the pace down before the party resumes again. Over time, the overall tempo can be increased as the students become more and more proficient with this all important bow technique. Correlated to Sound Innovations, Book 2, Level 2. (2:30)
