Product Description
This upbeat cello trio is perfect for beginning/intermediate students to improve their rhythmic fortitude as the traditional "Turkey in the Straw" melody is passed around the trio, accented by syncopated rhythmic hits in the piano accompaniment. After an unexpected introduction of Yankee Doodle in the piano part, the piece concludes by layering both folk tunes on top of each other for an engaging, toe-tapping experience!
The piano accompaniment provides a reliable pitch center and gives harmonic/rhythmic interest to these traditional tunes. The key signature, range and rhythms are beginner-friendly, while briefly featuring every player using evenly-leveled parts. The accompaniment also gives the beginning player who is still developing endurance periodic rests.
