Product Description
Adventure Awaits captures the wonder and awe of the cinematic soundscape using less than an octave for the individual player. It begins slow and bold, letting the musicians practice a bold, full sound on long notes. After building to a climax, the tempo kicks up to a faster, more articulated style. For the up-tempo section, idiomatic rhythms and and patterns are used to make it accessible to younger plaeyrs. This piece also focuses on changing dynamics throughout, creating excitement and teaching opportunities. Have fun with the piece. Maybe even let the students create their own storyline to go with the musical drama!
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.
