Tinikling: The Rice Bird Dance

Inspired by the traditional Filipino folk dance, Tinikling brings vibrant energy and cultural richness to the string orchestra. With rhythmic drive, catchy melodies passed through every section, and simple col legno and pizzicato techniques, this engaging Grade 2 piece is as fun to play as it is educational. A wonderful introduction to Filipino culture and a great opportunity to explore cross-curricular connections with dance and world music traditions.
