Bud Woodruff
presents The Cat Is in
the Kitchen, a
tongue-in-cheek style
piece with jazz
influences that students
enjoy playing. This
quirky piece is designed
to help students
successfully navigate
playing F-naturals and
B-flats. Bud Woodruff
draws on his lengthy
career as a string
educator to help students
overcome the challenges
in this piece.
I wrote The
Cat Is in the
Kitchen for a group
of very talented young
players who, for some
reason, did not like
Bb's, and particularly
Bb's on the G string ...
especially the cellos
(who always faithfully
played them as B
naturals). They bore no
great love for F
naturals, either. So this
piece is full of both.
Since the students liked
the sound of the piece,
they overcame their
dislikes, and all was
just fine in the end ...
mission accomplished!
One will
find that changing the
bowings will change the
accents, too, and the
flavor of the piece will
be lost. Without a doubt,
there is a jazz
influence, and the piece
will be easier to teach
if you approach it from
that angle. Have the
class work on m. 18 until
everyone can play it
ease. Then add m. 19 for
the upper strings, and
90% of any issues the
bowings may present will
be solved.
My kids loved
playing this piece, and
the audience enjoyed
hearing it. I trust you
will have the same
results.
