This is an easy arrangement for solo and wind band or brass band. The melody is from the renowned children's piano song "Chopsticks".
Some feel this name was inspired by the Chinese eating utensils since the piano solo is played with just the two forefingers.
Although the solo is scored for Xylophone, solo parts are provided in five different keys to feature 2 soloists. The keys are: C/Bb/EbSax/Horn/C (Bass Clef). These keys provide easier access with schools with general music classes that teach soprano recorders, alto recorders and keyboard harmonicas. (the solo part for wind instrument double featured duet is a little simplified)
