Apple Fritter Fiddles

Apple Fritter Fiddles (Grade 1, Easy) is a fun but challenging first fiddling tune that your students will enjoy playing!

Based in the key of D major, this song offers repetitive and identical rhythms and a unison melody for the violins and viola allowing both sections to lock in with each other. The cellos and basses also play in unison. The 2nd violin doubles the viola part. All notes are within the 1st position for violin, viola, cello and bass.

Also included with the arrangement is a combination piano/lead sheet allowing students who play chordal instruments (like guitar and ukulele) to participate in your ensemble. A complete drum set part is included if you want to add a full rhythm section to enhance your group’s performance. The drum set notation is based upon the Percussive Arts Society (PAS) format.
