Brass Trio Arrangements
Theme from Sesame Street
This has been one of our standard concert openers for younger audiences. It immediately grabs their attention and provides a perfect seque into how live concerts are different than hearing music on television.
America from West Side Story
A great closer with audience participation; half of the room claps in two and then the other half, in three.
Mary Had a Little Lamb
First time, buzz the tune. Then play simple melody on instrument to see how the sound chagnes. Third time breaks into a jazz trumpet feature and challenges audiences to describe how it was different the third time the tune was heard. What elements make music sound "like jazz"?
Mr. Church's Toy
A Renaissance tune that is sure to delight and how a piccardy third makes the music change from sad to happy!
