£8.00The New Bennett Band Book - Harold Bennett
The Bennett Band Books, published in four volumes starting in 1923, were used to teach literally millions of young band musicians in the middle of the twentieth century the march form and style. The pieces utilized in this book are: Activity, Summit, Success, Project, Courage, Mister Joe, Genius, Improvement, At Sight, Little Rastus, Laurel and Aline. These delightful marches, composed by famous march composer Henry Fillmore using the pseudonym Harold Bennett, have been given new life by arranger Larry Clark. The original essence of these marches is retained and only the instrumentation and some range issues have been altered to fit the needs of today's developing bands. This collection includes twelve of the Bennett marches along with a helpful march warm-up section composed by Larry Clark to help you teach the march form and style to young students. There is the added benefit of a full recording of each march performed by a professional band on the CD that is included in the conductor's score. This is a valuable collection for any level band to use for marches at contest/festival performance or for sight-reading purposes.

£41.00Go With The Flow
Andrew Balent has risen to the challenge of creating a stimulating piece of music from the limited ranges and rhythms possible at this grade level. Subtle rock elements and the contrast between the 4/4 meter of the vigorous opening and the meter of the slower, legato music in the contrasting section, give the director an occasion for discussing the various approaches to meter required in even the easiest music.
