This happy welcome song from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, is a great opportunity to introduce your strings to cut time. The arrangement is perfect to learn in a moderate 4/4 and gradually work up to cut time at a comfortable tempo. In particular the first four measures provide an excellent opportunity to get the feel of the back beat. Lots of fun for players and audience
