First Star

Written as an accessible introduction to 3/4 time, this Grade 1 work offers young ensembles the opportunity to explore basic rhythms, easy voice independence, and notes on the D, G, and A strings with no low-two finger patterns. Pizzicato and simple staccato add sparkle to this elegant theme with subtle hints of the familiar "twinkle" melody. Optional piano lends rhythmic support in this charming concert feature!
