Pumpkin Spice Latte - flute duet
Pumpkin Spice Latte by 11-year-old Bridget Bartlett is a delightful piece that captures the cozy essence of autumn.
The opening section is inspired by pumpkins, with a playful use of whole notes representing their round shape. As the music progresses, it transitions into a breezy depiction of fall weather, with leaves floating gently through the air and swirling up and down in response to gusts of wind. The final section brings the light and bubbly joy of whipped cream atop a pumpkin spice latte to life, filled with fun and energetic rhythms.
The note range spans from low G to C above the staff, and the rhythms vary from whole notes to dotted eighth-sixteenth combinations, making it both engaging and charming for young musicians. Perfect for celebrating the warmth and whimsy of the season!
A native of Colorado, Erin has been teaching flute and piano for 9 years. For much of that time, she thought she wanted to be a band director, but after teaching private lessons, she realized how much FUN it is and how big of a difference she can make in the lives of her students. She earned her Master's Degree in Flute Performance and her Bachelor's in Music Education at the University of Missouri to be the best flute educator she could be. The left side of Erin's face was paralyzed in 2018. Although it was devastating, having flute taken away reinvigorated her passion for flute, and the process of re-learning to play forced her to find new ways to improve her sound, making her an even better teacher. Erin collects crafts like some people collect stamps: crocheting, cookie and cake decorating, horseback riding, embroidery, board gaming, and more! Her favorite thing about teaching younger students is how much excitement and energy they bring to lessons. Find more about Spencer Music Studio at: www.spencermusicstudio.com
