Written with early advanced orchestras in mind, here is a dramatic selection in fast 3/4 time with some daring rhythms and sweeping, romantic melodies. Teachers can use "Rogue Rider" by Doug Spata to reinforce basic shifting, precision bowing and style changes, and introduce higher-level musicianship skills. It's not only a good teaching piece but will also be a hit at concerts and a piece that students will look forward to playing. (3:35)
