Here’s a lovely concert piece that will bring out the best in your young players. The dotted quarter-eighth note rhythmic pattern is tastefully featured and reinforces what has been taught in the lesson, while the tempo change between the andante and allegro sections makes this easy selection feel very sophisticated. Each section of the band has a chance to play on its own, as well as part of the full band. (Grade 1—Correlates with the Yamaha Band Student, Book 1, Page 18)
