Here is what you get with each MULTI-level score​

Sample page

Students can easily level-up or down based on their confidence level (OR to fill out the group’s ensemble sound) because ALL parts are printed on the same page.  

Why are there five levels?

Piano Band arrangements have five (5) progressively more challenging levels to accommodate groups with players of varying abilities.  All the parts combine seamlessly for a full ensemble performance. ​Listen to the FULL ensemble:

Part A

Part A features just the melody played across both hands--a great way to introduce the song to the entire class. ​Listen to Part A:

Part B

Part B has RH playing melody and LH playing a single bass note giving life to the song. ​Listen to Part B:

Part C is a “realized” lead sheet (including chords above the treble clef) where players begin to feel like they are creating what one of my students called “REAL music!” ​Listen to Part C:

Part D

Part D further develops broken chords patterns; music shows both the chord name and roman numeral analysis. Listen to Part D:

Part E

Part E is continues to build scale pattern skills with different rhythms in each hand. Listen to Part E:
