Written in the eerie key of F-sharp natural minor that attracts young students, this sound defines our scary monster called "Stretch." Each section gets important melodic and countermelodic material. With two separate sections (slow and fast), a legato middle section, a jaunty pizzicato section, and a forceful coda, every section will be challenging. The work features simple rhythm patterns to make it more accessible and allow the student to focus on the three sharps.
