Sky Suite

Katie O’Hara LaBrie

There is a method book hidden within the context of this concert piece! While floating through the “Clouds,” “Rain,” “Thunder,” and “Sun,” this multi-movement work focuses students on music literacy. A-, D-, and G-string notes are introduced one movement at a time. Throughout each of the movements, students will explore different time signatures, tempi, and bow techniques—then get a chance to put all their knowledge together in the finale. Perfect as a review for intermediate players or even as an intro to music reading for beginners!
