It can to tricky to find music for beginning orchestra for a first concert in October. My beginners can play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and they could use some practice at reading the notes we have learned so far. This piece uses the same notes from Twinkles: D, E, F#, G, A, and B. The rhythms are easy and quickly learned. Students learn dynamics, and they learn how to make a cool sound effect (pizz and slide). I have included parts with regular notation for students who are fast at note reading and also parts with simplified notation (note names in note heads) for students who are still learning the staff.
Click here for the audio (there are some pizzicato notes in the audio that aren't quite accurate because they are supposed to be a sound effect...students pizz once and slide their finger up their highest string to make a funny sound...you'll see it in the score)
