Description:
Take a sparkling ride through the snow aboard an express train, headed straight for the North Pole. In this Grade 2 holiday arrangement, developing players will 'travel' through several holiday tunes, including Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, Jolly Old St. Nicholas, Good King Wenceslas, O Christmas Tree, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. Students can work on staccato bow technique, easy dotted rhythms, and low 2 / low 1 finger patterns, but all while staying in first position. Be sure to use the included percussion and train whistle to make the journey come alive.
