Take your students on the journey of a curious dachshund, discovering and sniffing out the world at her own pace. It is a wonderful way to introduce your youngest players to mixed meter in an easy, laid back way. The walking "trot" tempo allows beginners to feel at ease while counting in 5/4 time. It also allows your players to connect to the piece with their own special friend at home, having meaning to all pet lovers out there.
