Blues Party

The adjectives catchy, fun and educational refer to Blues Party. Originally written to help drill the 8th and 9th scale degrees in the Bb concert scale, this catchy melody is set to basic blues changes in a rock and roll style. Alternate low brass and trumpet parts are available for students with range difficulties but these players are still pushed to reach an octave. Percussion parts are playable by students of all ability levels. The piece will work without the tambourine/cowbell parts but these colors really add to the fun.
