Let your middle and high school cellists get their feet wet with the jazz standard Freddie Freeloader. All four parts play solos, back-up and walking bass lines in turn. Cellists will grove using chopping skills and ghost notes. The cello one requires some tenor clef reading; the highest note is a C. In the other parts, fourth position is the highest position used. An intermediate level piece, this Miles Davis classic is suitable for showcases, recitals, and concerts.
Listen to Freddie Freeloader.
Sheet music is available as a digital download.
Congratulations! First, Second and Third Place in each category.
