"The Sleigh Ride That Went Horribly Wrong" is a captivating work crafted for beginning band students that takes listeners on a memorable winter adventure. The piece opens with a cheerful portrayal of a traditional sleigh ride, using the familiar tune "Jingle Bells." As the music progresses, the mood shifts dramatically in the second half, where the once-happy sleigh ride turns chaotic. The composition vividly illustrates an angry horse's dramatic reaction to the driver's repeated whip cracks, creating a sense of tension and excitement. Your students will love this unique take on a classic beginning band tune!

Concert Band Score & Parts

Beginning band students need to "rock out" on their instruments!
"Warrior Rock" only uses 6 of the first 7 notes found in most beginning band method books (low Concert A is used instead of Concert G above F.)
This works as a great closer to a beginning band concert!

Warrior Rock

Young musicians will love getting their feet wet in 3/4 using only the notes in the D Major Scale! Ensemble directors will find this work easy to teach with repetitive rhythms, step-wise movement and melody features for each section while at the same time providing students with a mature-sounding piece. Ahoy!

Susquehanna River Pirates

All ages will enjoy this number based on a famous rock tune named after an adult beverage!  Spanish for Lemonade, this piece gives young band musicians the opportunity to play with a cha-cha groove.

Limonada

Give your young string students an eighth note workout!
While the mp3/YouTube accompaniment is optional, your students will love playing with this dubstep track.

Frantic!

Fresh, zesty, and undeniably fun, Limonada is a vibrant "squeeze" of musical energy for your beginning string orchestra! With added percussion, this clever original work serves as a playful tribute to the iconic American rock hit Tequila, bringing that same infectious mambo-style groove to the concert stage in an educational, age-appropriate setting. While it captures the spirit of the classic hit, it remains perfectly tailored for the developing ensemble, utilizing the notes of the D Major scale and simple quarter-note/eighth-note patterns.  A perfect choice for your first or second concert — this one will have your audience cheering for more!

The classic string melody gets a frozen variation! This piece combines harmonies from "Love is An Open Door" with a common time setting of French Folk Song that will engage both young string students and audiences.

Not the Fight Song Again!

What would a large walking kiwi's theme song sound like? Your beginning
  band students will know after they play Big Bad Kiwi, a minor blues rock done
  with a flexible arrangement. Every part gets moments to shine in this piece
  that requires the first 7 notes found in any method book with repetitive
  eighth notes. Great for a concert closer!
