New 2012  Up a Level         

The title of this popular Spanish carol comes not from the Spanish language but rather from the sound of strumming a stringed instrument. This authentic setting for your beginning string orchestra is complete with strings alone, but comes with optional piano and percussion parts. Bring a multicultural flair to your Christmas concert

Celebrate the holiday season with this sparkling medley of all-time hits. Includes Up on the Housetop, Dreydl, Dreydl, Jingle Bells, and Deck the Halls in a bright, accessible arrangement that will spotlight your beginning strings.

Imagine a cheery tune Santa’s elves might sing while making Christmas toys! This fun polka for beginners stays on the D and A strings, uses only the first finger pattern, and is aimed at developing dexterity and string-crossing skills in young musicians. Optional percussion parts add the workshop sound effects, but students will really enjoy the catchy melodies that start quietly and build to a rowdy finish
