Sheet Music

Glory (arr. Jessica Davis)
by Common & John Legend String Quartet - Digital Sheet Music

This arrangement of Glory from Selma can be used as a super fun way for your beginning string players to play along with the original recording of Glory or to accompany vocalists.  This piece can be taught entirely by rote or can be used to introduce beginning note reading.  This mostly union arrangement offers a chance for educators to talk about intonation, bowing, and articulation at the same time in all instrument groups.  This is a perfect piece for a beginning orchestra group!

Stand Up (arr. Jessica Davis)
by Cynthia Erivo String Quartet - Digital Sheet Music

This arrangement of Stand Up from Harriet is a fantastic beginning play-along arrangement or accompaniment for voice for beginning/easy orchestra or string quartet.  Your students can play along with the original track with fun counter rhythms and repeating melodic phrases.  The piece can even be taught by rote with mostly simple repeating ostinatos throughout.  For the most part, two instrument groups or more parallel each other at once, making this a great choice for beginning orchestra and note reading practice.  The ending of the piece is a great chance to talk about key changes.  There is also an optional violin, cello and and/or viola solo
