All Grade ½’s are playable with only 5 instruments: 1 flute, 2 clarinets, 1 alto saxophone, and 1 trumpet. Those instruments are not always doubled elsewhere. The song is written in such a way, it will sound good with a limited instrumentation and richer and fuller as your band gets bigger. All Grade ½’s by Northeastern Music are playable after only 5 – 7 lessons. At this performance level, no clarinet crosses the break. This is written in Phrygian Mode allowing the young students to hear a song with a minor sound. Quarter notes are the shorts rhythm. The 1st trumpet’s highest note is A. This is a great tool for working on balance and intonation.
