Here’s an effective work for beginning level players that features solid teaching material in a setting that is also terrific concert programming. Skilled part writing for all players, bold modal harmonies, and optional solo/section features give it strong appeal for players to learn and perform with confidence.

Here’s a bold modal-based mini-overture for younger players that has great appeal with its “adventure” sound and energy, driven by easy syncopation. With a contrasting dolce center section, it’s all in one tempo and makes a fabulous teaching and performance work.
