Recorded on the 1956 album Cookin' with the Miles Davis Quientet, this Jazz standard composed by pianist Red Garland adapts beautifully for beginning jazzers. With a moderate tempo, riff-based melody, and non threatening soloing on the blue progession, this is the perfect introduction to the music of Miles Davis for your students.
Recorded by American pop group Walk The Moon, this upbeat rock hit has already demonstrated remarkable longevity. Carefully crafted for string groups, this lively tune is fun for all players, and sure to be a great student motivator.
Along with Morning Bus Ride and Lunchtime Jam, educator and composer Ron DeGrandis brings us solid teaching and terrific programming pieces to beginning level string students.
