The selections found in this suite will enable your students to step onstage for the first time and give a performance that is full energy and panache!All string parts are written in rhythmic unison and use rhythms typically introduced to beginning students. The first three selections only use open strings, and the remaining selections include 'E' and 'F#' on the D string (see chart below). Pizzicatoáis used to add variety to some selections. All of the melodies and harmonies have been carefully analyzed to insure fidelity to the original.
