Product Description
Woodland March is a concert march for young band. It is in the key of Bb, beginning with an upper woodwind and snare drum duet, a nod to the drum and fife days. The rest of the band then joins for essentially an AABA form. The piece modulates to Eb major for the B section (without changing the key signature), then back to Bb for the end. Woodland March uses basic rhythms and limited range, perfect for a young band to begin learning and mastering march style.
This piece directly correlates with the Foundation Warm-Up Series. This series is designed to follow most beginning band methods. The early sets focus primarily on airflow, common patterns, and reinforcing concepts presented in the method books. As the series develops, the sets become more like a traditional band warm-up, including long tones, flexibility exercises, articulation, scale patterns, and a chorale.
