Soft Kitty - Edith Newlin
Your beginning band students will love Andy Clark's arrangement of this favorite lullaby, recently featured in many episodes of two very popular television series. Using only the first five notes students learned in beginning band instruction, every section of the band gets a chance to shine. The variations demonstrate how a melody can be played in different styles, providing excellent teaching opportunities. The brief introduction can be performed as a solo, duet or full section of trumpets, clarinets or saxophones. Fun for everyone at your beginners' first concert!

£67.95Forest of Tranquility - Randy Navarre
Forest of Tranquility is our newest work in our very beginning band series. Like all of our compositions in this performance level, your students can play this within the first few months of study. Thus, getting in a very early concert and keeps kids in the band program. This is a gentle sounding song starting in a minor mode, moving to its relative major and back to minor, a sound not often heard for a beginning band at this level. Clarinets do not cross the break. The 1st trumpet's highest note is Bb.

£49.50Blessings - Ken
Based on the liturgical hymn "The Doxology" written in 1674 by Thomas Ken, this lyrical and sensitive arrangement for the beginning band provides multiple teaching opportunities in a rich musical setting. The first melodic statement is written as a musical exchange between soloists or sections creating a connection and awareness between sections of the band. The second melodic statement is a lush full ensemble setting in contrast. The use of mixed meter in an accessible and musically logical manner reinforces teaching and concepts introduced in the first year of most beginning band methods. A beautiful and educational choice for your concert program!

£37.50Penguin Promenade - Mike Hannickel
Away to the Southern land of ice and snow! This one is even easier to put together for the concert than it looks. The repeated nature of each section's easy part of the theme means your Beginning Band can put this together with very few rehearsals. Nice dynamic contrasts, easy articulations, and the contrast between staccato and full-value notes make sure that your band can sound mature even though they have been playing but a short time.Quality music for the Beginning Band!
