Apparitions is a diabolical selection that starts off with some fun fingering challenges and string crossings and then ups the ante by getting faster... and faster... and faster! Not only is it a great piece to help young musicians master technical challenges, such as chromatic fingerings, it also helps them listen to each other and practice watching their conductor! Students and audiences will enjoy the spooky-fun style and orchestra teachers will appreciate the technical and ensemble playing skills that the piece requires.
