Rhythmic energy and exciting harmonies make this fun and spooky tune an instant favorite of young string students. Without using any of the more difficult or complicated finger patterns, this original piece serves as an excellent introduction to flat key signatures. The key of G minor allows for solid intonation to be maintained because the ensemble can rely on the open G and D strings as a pitch foundation. The melody gets shared by every section of the orchestra and can be taught to all sections simultaneously. (2:40).

This soprano aria from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera The Marriage Of Figaro in the key of D major, contains some interesting modulations and is playable by grade 2 groups. Much of the charm of this piece results from Mozart's creative and brief exploration of many tonal centers, and is a great example how a composer can take a relatively simple tune and provide a great deal of interest through imaginative harmonies. Each set includes three copies of the 3rd Violin/Viola T.C. part and an optional piano part. Duration 2:40. Available in SmartMusic.
