Par CLARKE JEREMIAH. This arrangement of 'The Prince of Denmark March,' or 'Trumpet Voluntary,' provides the perfect setting for advocacy and striving for excellence since it is so recognizable. Three different versions of the final 8 bars, containing incorrect notes, are included. Each version contains an increasing percentage of correct pitches. Each represents a different letter grade. Play all four versions and then explain to parents and administration that the A+, 100% correct version is what we do every day in orchestra. All sections play the melody in this piece, still providing a solid musical setting in a novelty piece. Audience members are sure to recognize it which makes it perfect for finding 'errors.' Along with the 'real' music for the final 8 bars, three other versions are included. The first version has 80% of the correct notes and 20% incorrect. The next has 90% correct notes and 10% incorrect. The next has 95% correct notes and 5% incorrect. The final, 'real' version has 100% correct notes. The 100% version should be played first for the audience explaining this version would get an A+ in an academic setting. Then play the 80% or B- version, then the 90% or A- Version, and then the 95% A version. Then explain to parents and administration that the only version that is acceptable is the 100% version and that is what we do every day in orchestra. This provides a perfect advocacy moment to discuss the benefits of music education with parents and a tangible explanation of striving for excellence to parents and students. Includes an educational packet with each part that features technical exercises, history, theory, composition, and more. Correlated to Sound Innovations, Book 1, Level 5.

From veteran music educator and composer Carold Nunez comes this outstanding teaching piece for ensemble playing. It features solid beginning keys of D and G and gives all players interesting melodic parts along with a few rhythmic “teaching moments.”

All players are given a sample solo along with a solo sheet on the back of their parts teaching them the basics of improvisation. In this case the entire basis of the solo is a G Major scale making for a positive experience for virtually any performer. Outstanding writing by a jazz violinist!

This original piece by Doug Spata, written in the style of an American fiddle tune, features a favorite technique of young players---open-stringed double stops! While exploring bowing levels, students will find bold melodies and animated accompaniments in each part and will enjoy the counting challenges along the way. (1:45) / Orchestre A Cordes
