£54.99Woodside Fanfare - Daniel Jones
Several teaching opportunities are presented in this concert opener and the unison rhythms make it an excellent piece for inexperienced bands. Each wind player must play eighth notes; however, the eighth notes are always on consecutive pitches, thus making the piece accessible to beginners. It also contains a first and second ending, accents, and several dynamic changes as well as harmonies that are very basic and easily obtainable for young musicians.

£71.50The Haunted Carousel - Joseph Eidson
The Haunted Carousel is a slightly off-kilter waltz that introduces young players to the concept of meter changes without being overly complex. Imagine a circus that only comes to life at midnight, where tents glow in the darkness while ghostly figures appear and disappear. Haunting music comes from a carousel that turns with faint images on the dusty seats, breaking the eerie silence of the night. As the piece ends, the coda slowly fades out with the rising sun and the circus fades like a distant dream.
