English Country Garden for String Quartet

I woke up one morning with English Country Garden in my head, so I notated it, and here you are. It’s written as a string quartet for violin 1, violin 2, viola and cello. It’s probably about 2nd, 3rd grade level.

Enjoy.

Spider Spray – an easy violin piece to introduce first finger B flat

A student of mine composed this.  I think it’s hilarious!  He was telling me about a spider adventure – obviously the spider met with an unfortunate end, but it was a great excuse to compose a song!

It’s probably a first grade easy song – with a D minor 5 note pattern on the last line, along with the B flat scattered through.  But there’s a surprise with a scritchy scratchy bow – we found it best to slide your bow up the fingerboard, which creates a bit of a horrible sound…kind of like a spider dying via spider spray!

Stand For The Right – simplified piano

Here’s a cute little simplified version of an already cute song.

I included little hands to show when their hands have to move to a new position on the piano, and fingering helps.  The original is in C Major – so this is just easier on little eyes.

O Worship The Lord – simplified

This is #6 in the SDA Hymnal.  I have simplified it to C Major, with larger notes.

Fingering is included, some phrasing, and a fairly easy LH.  Probably about 1st grade standard.
