Motivate Your Group Class . . . and Delight Their Parents!

In the spirit of Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, New York City composer and violinist Sanchie Bobrin has created a piece of music that children will love to learn and perform. The Elephant’s Secret was composed especially for young string players, with parts that suit various playing levels. Your students will want to perform it over and over! With narration that can be read by teacher, student, or parent, The Elephant’s Secret is the perfect project for any group class planning their seasonal concert.

This fun and educational ensemble piece features each member of the bowed string instrument family. It involves a story, which unfolds as the narrator introduces the characters; the Elephant, many monkeys, a hippopotamus, a snake and two songbirds, all portrayed by the instruments of the ensemble. The Elephant has a secret, which he cannot keep to himself. The fun begins when he tells his secret to his best friend, Mr. Monkey, who promises not to tell it to ANYONE. But then, Mr. Monkey goes home to his very nosey wife. Behind the Elephant’s back, the whole forest is making promises not to tell his secret to anyone!

A Fun and Inclusive Tune for Kids' Ensembles Across Skill Levels

Recently, I had the chance to play the bass 'Elephant' part in a kids' ensemble concert, and wow, was it a blast! The story of the piece was not only hilarious but also a big hit with the audience.

What's really cool about this composition is how it welcomes kids at various stages of their musical journey. Whether they've just learned the very basics or have already developed decent skills — a common scenario in many music schools — this piece brings them all together to play in harmony. A big thumbs-up for any ensemble that wants to ensure everyone's involved and enjoying the journey.

The Elephant Had a Secret...

The white cover of this wonder filled musical score doesn't give away the secret of the colorful story and music that lies within. The Elephant's Secret is a charming piece for string ensemble or orchestra, featuring soloists in each instrument of the bowed string family, playing the roles of the characters in the story. The music comes alive with the Elephant's theme, which joins with the various musical themes of Mr. Monkey, Mrs. Monkey, the Monkey Tribe, Hippopotamus, the slithering Snake and two pretty Songbirds. This piece is meant for young people to perform as the narrator tells the tale of how the elephant's secret passes from one animal to another in the tropical forest in which they live. While fun to play, and surely an audience pleaser, The Elephant's Secret holds many valuable educational benefits for young and advancing string players.
