Miss Delicia Chisholm

⚡ The Short Version

A four-parted 2/4 for solo competition. Miss Delicia Chisholm is a great tune for grade 3-4 solo competition, with several rhythmic pitfalls that I walk through one by one.

The double dot is written precisely for a reason. The opening low A carries a double dot with the B written as a 32nd note — unusual notation, but it's exactly correct for how the tune should sound.

Don't rush embellishments coming from the same note. Doublings and short notes that follow the same pitch (like an F doubling coming from F) are a classic place pipers rush — hold the note before at its full value instead.
