Grasshopper Chomp
| Brolga Music String Orchestra Series BMO009 |
Level: 1 | Duration: 1'20" |
Program Notes
Grasshopper Chomp is a short work for beginning string orchestras. It encourages students at this level to produce a full tone through the confident use of fast bow strokes. The piece is in the key of D major which is the first key learnt on the violin. Look for the jumping grasshopper of the title in the lively use of the bow, especially during re-takes. Unison rests show us the grasshopper relaxing between leaps.
