The Shark Shuffle

Difficulty: Beginner
Duration: approx. 1:33
Composed in 2014

Program Notes

The Shark Shuffle was written for my 4th Grade Band at the time. The title is based on their school district's team name, the Sharks. This beginner band piece only uses the first five notes of the concert Bb major scale. It also only uses whole notes half notes and quarter notes for rhythms. This piece can be played with a variety of instruments allowing ensembles with limited instrumentation to enjoy it as well!
