Abaco Beach Vacation - Mike Hannickel
Sometimes though, it's hard to find performance literature that lets us continue teaching the basics while we prepare the beginning band for a concert. We need easy performance music that helps make basic techniques come alive for the students. Composed by a full-time "young band" director, Abaco Beach Vacation is designed to do just that. There are a lot of great suggestions included in the "Notes to the Director," which will help get them playing the way you'd like them to.Let them have fun while they learn!

A new and different approach to the young band overture! This engaging grade 1 1/2 composition is a wonderful contrast to whatever you program for your concert or festival appearance. Quality music at this level is educationally critical but has heretofore been hard to find. The bridge between grade 1 and grade 2 literature also acts as the pathway from "beginner" music to truly expressive band compositions. James Curnow's Pegasus will help you move your band in the right direction. You may also wish to use Pegasus as a cross-curricular connection with other disciplines.Solid!

£54.99Strong Coffee - Ron Gilmore
It is true that tastes differ. Coffee has known a long history : it has been drunk since the 17th century. On one hand people drink coffee for relaxation, on the other hand it is drunk to ward off tiredness or sleepiness. 'Strong Coffee' composed by Ron Gilmore works both ways. There will be people who will be able to relax during 'Strong Coffee', whereas others will experience it as a real boost. Is it a bit too strong after all, such a funky Soul Beat? Then adding a little milk might help. As said before, tastes differ!

Joe Cocker!
Joe Cocker is considered the most successful white blues singer; he is especially well-known for his rough, striking voice. In 1968, With a Little Help from My Friends became his first number one hit in the UK. With this song he had his great breakthrough at the legendary Woodstock festival in 1969. He can now look back on 40 years of performing and he still is very successful. His records are almost selfselling and his tours easily fill stadiums. Wolfgang Wssner, a true Joe Cocker fan from early childhood, has collected the singer's most beautiful and successful songs and arranged them in a great medley for concert band.
