You Rock!

Description

Violin 1, Violin 2, Violin 3, Viola, Cello, Contrabass, Piano — You Rock!xa0is a driving, straight-eighth rock piece. A section that allows for solos has been provided at m.45. Students are encouraged to improvise in this section using an A-natural-minor scale or an A-minor pentatonic scale (A, C, D, E, G). When improvising use scoops, sul ponticello and slides to capture a more authentic rock sound. Avoid using vibrato. Driving eighth notes propel this rock-inflected score with room for some optional improvised solos. Alternative styles of scoring and musical content are much in vogue these days and this sensational little piece will give young players the chance to play music in a style as up-to-date as they are!
