A Minor Matter by Loreta Fin is ideally suited to introducing half position. It does not complicate the learning with intricate rhythms, but focuses on the harmonies and melodic line, using low first fingers in all parts. Courtesy reminders are used here and there, to ensure that the students are prepared to place the hand correctly. (2:15)
