I Have a Little Dreidel

A first-concert arrangement of the classic Hanukkah song, built for a very early-stage student. The melody line is written for violin, but doubles as a vocal line — the lyrics are printed under the notes, and every note also has its letter name spelled out above the staff. The piano part is written to keep the student's hand in as close to one position as possible, so there's no hunting for keys mid-piece. An optional shaker/percussion part is included for a parent, sibling, or classmate to join in.

• •Note names printed above every note in the violin/voice line
• •Piano part written for minimal hand movement, easy to sight-read for a young accompanist
• •Optional shaker/percussion part included
• •Works as a violin solo, a vocal solo, or both together

Instruments: Violin or Voice · Piano · Percussion (optional) · Easy level

Written for a very first recital — simple rhythms, a familiar tune, and a part for everyone in the room who wants to join in.
