£41.50Mango Tango - By David M. Martin
A pleasant rendition of a tango for grade 1 band. Once the students have clapped the opening unison rhythm, they will be amazed at how easily it translates to the horn, making this a very fun piece to play and to hear. Some question/answer segments between brass and woodwinds allow the director to stress the importance of listening to musical lines across the band to see how it all fits together as a whole. A terrific addition to the young band repertoire.
