Music Box Ballerina

Music Box Ballerina
This piece transports listeners to a world of fantasy as the marimba is transformed into a magical music box! Close
your eyes and see the artful twirling of a beautiful and graceful ballerina come to life. It is very important to bring out
the rise and fall in the melody line with your dynamics.
