In response to many requests for pieces dealing with the elements of music, here is a waltz with a wee bit of whimsy highlighting the contrast between legato and staccato. To emphasize the difference between these two styles, we decided that a partner song would be in order. The challenge will be for each of the parts to stand their ground, not just melodically, but with their articulations! Your students will have a lot of fun with this one and may tend to bob and weave while singing. (from Music K-8, Vol. 14, No. 1)
