1. Blue Grooves (1’42”) – This fun and energetic piece only uses notes from a 1 octave D major scale as well as halfway harmonics. The rhythm is almost always in unison or a call and answer structure. The jazzy piano part is essential to the piece (a recorded part is available online) and makes the piece come alive. 
2. Resting Place (2’00”) – This gentle piece is in B minor but has just simple hand positions. It encourages legato bowing and helps to develop dynamic awareness.
3. Sailor’s Dance (1’08”) – A lively piece in E minor, this simple piece is fun to play. Simple rhythms and notes and lots of unison parts, this is a great piece for beginners.
 
There are flexible parts included for all of the pieces and have all 3 upper parts (not the double bass part) written for just the 1 instrument (e.g. all violins) so that you can use the pieces in same instrument classes or flexible ensembles.
