Every spring, I teach three sections of beginning band. Going from unison, eight-measure, method book songs to full page band arrangements is a transition. It is helpful when the full page songs are easy, with no new notes and rhythms, so students can practice playing different parts and focus on things like multiple measure rests. These four compositions are modern, playable, and fun for young students.
