A fun and unique composition written for young band and electric guitar, inspired by the composer's grandson, who plays trumpet and guitar.

The guitar part, which primarily consists of power chords, includes a short solo that can either be improvised or played as written. A drum set part is included; it's recommended to feature either the drum set or percussion, but not both.

Give your middle-level band the tools they need to produce smooth legato playing.  This series of books for all band instruments presents a logical sequence in a variety of keys to improve this important aspect of band performance.  Each key has drills that emphasize basic understanding and builds on chord progression movement from whole notes to half notes and then quarter notes.  Each sequence then builds to a full chorale setting based on the studied chord progressions.  This progressive approach to connecting notes will have a lasting impact on the tone, balance, blend and intonation of your ensemble.  There are also daily warm-ups included to build strength and flexibility in the brass, technical facility in the woodwinds and rudiments in the percussion.  Since the book is specifically designed for the middle-level band, there has been careful consideration given to instrument range and the keys presented.

Nicknamed "Prague" after the city of its premiere, Mozart's Symphony No. 38 followed quickly after the resounding success of his opera "The Marriage of Figaro," which also premiered in 1786. This arrangement functions much like a concerto grosso, with string soloists performing the woodwind parts accompanied by tutti string sections and timpani, just as Mozart penned them. As such, it is a great teaching tool for playing in Classical style and an opportunity to feature your top players in a brilliant piece of timeless repertoire.

The frantic battle between a man and a fire ant hill is portrayed with dramatic and humorous flair. From the initial calm of the ants going about their business to the chaotic battle that follows, the music uses fast-paced rhythms, clashing dissonances, and vibrant percussion to create a sense of tension and urgency. Each section of the battle is characterized by different musical elements, such as a military march for the ants' preparation and whip-like sounds for the humans' attempts to fend them off, ending in triumph for the victorious ants.

Alto Sax Method Book with CD

Better known as Genghis Khan, Temujin was a famed leader from Mongolia, viewed by many as a hero of epic proportions. In this exciting piece, heroic themes are first heard in the violins over steady, marching staccato in the low strings. Then a fierce melody emerges in the cello and bass, rising with triumph like Temujin rose from humble beginnings to become a mighty conqueror. Dramatic dynamics and divisi chords add powerful musical moments to portray indomitable spirit and prowess in battle. A strong closer for middle school orchestras.
