Difficulty: Easy (great for junior high, high school & college steel bands)

This pack contains 3 collections of 6 pieces for Early Steelband. Each was written as a performance piece for beginning steelband, as sight-reading material for more advanced bands, or as pieces for bands that are looking for something easy to dig into quickly. These 3 collections from the Early Steelband Series include 18 pieces covering 12 different genres. All of the pieces in this collection are 2 - 5+mins long and will require each section of the band to learn 3 - 5 basic phrases to complete the piece. Basic characteristic rhythms and time signatures make the parts simple for younger players. This Jumpstart Pack is a great way to equip a new band with lots of music or an inexpensive way to expand your music library without breaking the budget. It will keep your band busy for quite awhile or give you more options in the early stages with a group. These can be taught in only a few rehearsals by rote or used to strengthen note-reading skills. The different styles can add diversity to your setlist at a concert or offer ways to branch off with more teaching material in the classroom. At 230+ pages this Bundle Pack is priced at just $150 for all 18 pieces, that's under $8.50 per chart!! You save $30 by purchasing all three books at once!!
