5th Avenue Rock [CF:BAS85P]

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.
