Hey Presto Strings!

Music for String Groups.

Adaptation of a piece from Hey Presto! for Violin, book 1. Rhythmic and lively, this version allows beginners to play together with more advanced players (up to approx Grade 3), who are challenged with fast passagework. The foot stamping makes this especially effective in venues with a wooden floor!

Violin 2 – 3 fingers
Violin 3 – open strings
Piano accompaniment (approx Grade 4)

Optional parts:

Violin1 – 3 fingers, low 2nd, high 3rd, fast passages (approx Grade 3)
Viola 1 – 4 fingers and low 2nd
Viola 2 – mostly open strings, some 1st fingers
Cello 1 – 1st, 3rd, 4th fingers
Cello 2 – some 1st fingers
