This has definitely been the highlight of the Autumn term for our beginners, they are all super excited and can not stop asking for it in every single lesson! It's not only that How Far I'll Go is a great song loved by every child and the arrangement is super fun to play, the best is that it works with the Original Soundtrack and can be played along with the Youtube official video, CD, etc.
It's only Open Strings (well, violas, first finger on D for you instead of open E, sorry!) but can be adjusted to your students level: a total beginner will be thrilled to pluck just number 1 in their first lesson, and for more advenced ones they can combine left hand plucking and bowing. With our young violinist we like them to play numbers 1 & 2 left hand pizz. and 3 & Ending bowing.
Below you'll find the violin and viola pdfs to download for free plus a letters version for younger beginners not ready for note reading. We hope you and your students enjoy this as much as we are doing!
