Gold Star Favorites

This series offers students an appealing variety of styles in a single album. A brief paragraph of background information is provided for most pieces. All books include a CD with orchestrated accompaniments. Each piece has twotracks: one at performance tempo and one at practice tempo. An optional duet accompaniment, based on the orchestration, is included for all pieces at the early levels. The intent of the CD is to provide an incentive with ademonstration of the finished piece. The slower practice tempo assists the student in maintaining a steady beat, using the correct rhythm and gaining valuable ensemble experience while making practice more fun. This volumeincludes 13 classics, including: Anchors Aweigh · Easy Winners · He's Got the Whole World in His Hands · La Cucaracha · Lullaby (Brahms) · March from the Nutcracker · Oh! Susanna · Star-Spangled Banner · Toreador March fromCarment · You're a Grand Old Flag · and more.
