Piano Ensemble Strips: Arabian Dance

Piano Ensemble Strips – quick and easy piano ensembles for small to large groups

Each students’ part is a simple, short section of the piece that is repeated over and over. Parts are layered on top of one another, one at a time, creating a full and beautiful piece!

This ensemble works with anywhere from 5 to 24 pianists and ranges from an Elementary to a Late Intermediate level.

Play Tchaikovsky’s mesmerizing Arabian Dance from The Nutcracker with anywhere from five to twenty-four pianists! Parts range from elementary to late intermediate level, making this a fantastic piece for your whole studio to play together. The first six parts are simple, repeating ostinato parts that repeat for the entire piece. Start with part 1, then on the repeat add part 2, then 3, and so on, until all 6 repeating parts are playing. Then anywhere from one to eighteen students take turns playing the solo sections. You don’t need to play all 24 parts, you can mix and match depending on how many students you have playing. Includes 24 parts, a Teacher’s Score, an audio recording of the piece, optional solo sheets and optional cue cards.
