The Magnificent Five

Written for the beginning band’s very first concert, this playful tune uses only five notes (the first five notes learned in most band methods) with rhythms no faster than a quarter-note in scale-wise patterns that will build technique and provide a great performance experience. Your beginners will enjoy showing off their newly learned skills with this five-note showpiece. (1:45) Correlated with Accent on Achievement, Book 1, page 8.
