This delightful
piece is all about rhythm! Quavers and semiquavers are used in
different combinations and bowing which teaches good co-ordination and
clean articulation is reinforced. Quick retakes are required to
commence new phrases, but the tempo can be taken very steadily until
the rhythms are able to be read easily by the students. Practise the
different “fruit salad” rhythms by playing simple scales while saying
“watermelon, strawberry, mango and passionfruit”. Yum! I would like to
dedicate this piece to my first Grandchild, who is due in May 2009. She
will be a wonderful mix of Australian, Italian, French, Swiss,
Scottish, and Irish heritage – a beautiful little bowl of fruit salad
herself!
