Jingle Bells

Caryn Wiegand Neidhold devised a bubbly, multi-level arrangement of Jingle Bells with a dollop of holiday tradition and a dash of contemporary rock. Level 2.5 students work on their spiccato skills and pass the melody from section to section, and beginners get to play a piece they know well with the big kids. This piece stands alone for level 2.5 orchestra, has the opportunity to include level 1.5 students, and works wonderfully to feature beginning students. The optional drum set part kicks up the energy for a grand finale. Jingle Bells for multi-level orchestra is perfect for including your first-year students and a great way to brighten the holiday season. (2:00)
