Tumbleweed is a little composition written for a young string ensemble. In these videos, I will help young string players to play in A major, make quick transitions from pizz to arco, and be more comfortable doing retakes back to the frog. You can get a free score and parts at IMSLP

This link will take you to a YouTube video called “Director Comments.” It will give you specific issues to address and tips on how to teach them when helping students play Tumbleweed.
