Composed by John McAllister. This edition: audio, pdf, streaming. 19th Century, 20th Century, Classical, Contemporary, Instructional. 18 pages. John McAllister #1156904. Published by John McAllister (A0.1585463).

"Tick Tock Goes the Clock" is a light-hearted and engaging piece designed specifically for beginning string orchestras. Entirely pizzicato, this fun and rhythmic composition mimics the steady ticking of a clock, providing young musicians with a playful yet structured musical experience. Using only the first five notes commonly introduced in method books (D, E, F#, G, A), it is accessible for students in the early stages of their musical journey.

Each section of the orchestra has the opportunity to play both melodic and accompaniment roles, promoting well-rounded musicianship and ensemble awareness. The interplay of plucked notes creates a delightful, percussive texture that keeps students engaged while reinforcing fundamental techniques such as pulse, note accuracy, and dynamic contrast.

Perfect for early performances, "Tick Tock Goes the Clock" is not only a fun addition to any beginning orchestra’s repertoire but also a valuable teaching tool that develops essential skills in a musically rewarding way.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
