Showtime Rag

Here’s a fun, jazzy, all-pizzicato selection for early beginners to play at one of their first concerts! Showtime Rag is built around a strong, steady beat. This original by Doug Spata uses only the D and A strings, and half, quarter, and eighth notes with very limited independence to keep everyone together. Each section gets a melody, making it the perfect way to show off those beginning skills. (1:40)
