Old MacDonald Had a Band

Although written as supplemental material to the Belwin 21st Century Band Method, this piece can be used with any beginning band method. The grade level is 1 to 1 1/2, and the pitch ranges and rhythms conform to the abilities of students at the end of the Belwin 21st Century Band Method, Level 1, or any other beginning band method. This arrangement includes audience sing-along and solo-type passages for each section of the band: Woodwinds, Brass, and Percussion. This is a fun piece to brighten up any concert or assembly. Also, it is a good recruiting tool for demonstrating families of instruments. (1:08)
