This rocking piece for beginning strings is based on the interval of a perfect fifth – thus the title! Students can practice easy string crossings on open strings, simple rhythms, and stepwise finger patterns. Violin 2 doubles viola and cello doubles bass to build confidence and create a full sound. The piano and drum set fill in during rests, allowing the young orchestra to shine in its very first concert.
This rocking piece for beginning strings is based on the interval of a perfect fifth – thus the title! Beginning students can practice easy string crossings utilizing open strings, while the mostly unison rhythms consist of only quarter-and eighth-note durations. The stepwise finger patterns of the melody strengthen note-reading and intonation. With violin 2 doubling viola and cello doubling bass, each section of the orchestra is given the opportunity to play the melody. The provided piano part fills in during rests and can support students in maintaining a steady beat, particularly in pizzicato sections. An optional drum set part completes this upbeat first concert selection.
