Playing Possums

In Shining Star, first finger is introduced on 2 strings across all instruments, making it very suitable for the student beginning left-hand finger placement.

Shining Star is written in Ternary Form (ABA), with violin, viola & cello playing the main themes in unison/octaves and an independent part by the double bass.

With tempo marked Espressivo, this piece encourages players to develop tone and bow control.
