Rock the Chatbox!

Since the COVID-19 Pandemic began in early 2020, the composer was left wondering how to best teach in a virtual learning environment as well as make it meaningful and enjoyable. This piece became the rock anthem of celebration for all those student musicians out there that studied band online, rather than in the school band room. This chart is set in 12-bar blues and is an excellent teaching piece for syncopation and style. The cowbell part incorporates a 3:2 Latin cascara beat throughout. There is even an optional solo section that allows for individual or section performance. This flexible adaptation allows you to create unique instrument groupings within the instrumentation you already have. This gives you the opportunity to play the piece effectively and musically, even if you do not have a full band available to you. Strings parts (Edited by Mr. Alexandre Soares) are also included for an opportunity to form a flexible symphony orchestra. Bowings and fingerings are included as a guide in all string parts. Finally, all student parts contain a scannable QR code to be able to practice along with a rhythm section track and a full performance track via YouTube. You'll want to have this fresh, new chart on your next virtual concert!
