This fun and cool-sounding piece is the perfect way to introduce the difference between F? and F? as well as C? and C? to your young orchestra. The melodies are passed around to all sections, keeping everyone on their toes deciding whether to play their F's and C's "high or low." A simple ride cymbal part adds color and pizazz. A great way to teach standard 12-bar blues form. For an extra challenge, have students "swing" the eighth notes. (2:30) Correlates to Sound Innovations Book 1, Level 4.
