Creepy, crawly, spooky, and scary -- this fun piece has it all! Ghosts and Goblins, by Chris M. Bernotas, is based on the first 6 notes of the D major scale, but in the Dorian mode. Perfect for your students first concert. Violin 2 and viola are doubled, as are cello and string bass. Simple but engaging, with pizzicato, arco, and just a few dynamics so students can focus on getting the finger patterns and rhythms correct. This is a great addition to the very beginning string orchestra library. (2:15) Correlates to Sound Innovations Book 1, Level 4.
