Goblin's Groove

Goblin’s Groove

Peter Sciaino

Peter Sciaino brings us a creepy and quirky new work for the beginning musician with “Goblin’s Groove.” Inventive percussion sound effects will keep them engaged, and the wind parts are accessible with great teachable moments like 3-note slurs and repeated 8th note patterns. A great way to hook them early in the year! (1:54)

Ability
(March)

Larry Clark

“Ability” is a great title for this early march in traditional form that celebrates the youngest musician. Marches are wonderful tools to teach all sorts of musical concepts, and “Ability” is no exception. This one is a perfect “first” foray into the wide world of march music! (1:44).
