Zig-Zagging Around

Zig-Zagging Around

Jerry Frazier

Grade Beginning Band

Zig-Zagging around is a good study for practicing  fingering patterns.  Most melodies tend to be follow scale patterns, but Zig-Zagging bounces around. All parts move in less predictable ways making Zig-Zagging good finger practice for students. Ranges and rhythms are limited, and much doubling is present.  The snare part include flams and eighth notes.
