As the title suggests, this nod to the fleet-footed dance of the 1800s, "The Polka Dot Polka," is all about dots---dots over, under, and after notes! Written as an etude to enhance your young orchestra's understanding of dotted quarter note rhythms and staccato bow strokes, this selection---in true Richard Meyer style---is sure to challenge all of your students and get your audience dancing in the aisles! For extra fun, "push" the tempo a bit (or even a lot!)---the faster the better! (2:30). This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
