Sticky Beaking and March Fly March (Teegan Dowdell) for String Orchestra

Sticky Beaking, with lyrics to learn notes, is based on a little bird sticky-beaking and being watched while it goes about its daily business. With some clashing quavers in the middle leading into resolution chords, students will adore this little tune which is a calm and comfortable play. March Fly March, in contrast, is an upbeat staccato-focused piece, allowing students to march during the middle section. Note, you may hear a buzzing fly along the way, too! Grade 1. Performance time: 2:00.
