As the title suggests, this fun grade 1.5 piece features ever-changing time signatures that will intrigue and challenge the young string orchestra. There are four mood shifts in the piece, suggested by a student narrator who stands up and declares simply "Once upon a time," "Suddenly," "Luckily," and "Happily ever after." But what, exactly, is the story? That's up to your students and your audience to decide! This charming piece is simple rhythmically and note-wise, but a great way to get your orchestra counting. Sure to spark everyone's imagination! This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
