Four Waves
Four Waves imagines a variety of waves from the gentle lapping on peaceful shores to waves that wreak violent destruction, and ultimately showing that all waves crest and fall. Although not entirely programmatic, your percussionists serve as the catalyst for the last wave. A majestic musical portrayal.SKU: AL26732 -

Junkyard Jam
You’ll have to bring in the trash for this hard-driving number! The piece employs both rock and introductory Afro-Cuban styles, but with a twist: percussionists perform on optional “junkyard” instruments such as five-gallon buckets and plastic garbage cans and lids. A spirited middle section invites other band members to get into the act too. This one will be the band’s favorite and bring the house down at your concert! (2:30)SKU: AL30789 -

Rhythm Rappin’ Rock
Finally, a rap/rock piece with real educational value! Consistent with many established approaches, students will learn new sixteenth-note rhythms typically introduced in the first or second year of instruction through “rap” (speech rhythms), which will ensure accuracy when played on instruments later. There are also plenty of fun licks to play on instruments using easier rhythms (nothing harder than eighth notes). This one is such great fun that students will hardly know they’re learning!SKU: AL24708
