Around the World with Wenceslas

Price: £11.95

~ variations on the well-known carol
by Douglas Coombes
For Descant & Treble Recorders, Glock, Xylo. Percussion I & II & Piano

Good King Wenceslas journeys around the world and the music tells you in which country he has arrived - Argentina, Austria, China, Italy, Russia, USA, W.Indies. Not in the 'easy' mold, it is nevertheless suitable for upper juniors who have good recorder playing experience and the other players will need a good command of rhythm. Youngsters will feel a real sense of achievement in playing this extended piece and will want to work at the more difficult corners. Duration approx.5 minutes. Published in our 'facsimile' series, the score is in the composers own hand, the parts are properly set in larger-sized notes and are easy to read. This makes a great Christmas concert item.
Suitable KS 2/3 [Scottish Levels C-E]. Price Score & parts £11.95

Count and Play

Price: £9.95

Instrumental Pieces in Pictorial Notation devised by Gordon Pearce
A brilliant idea to get your pupils playing in a trice. Count and Play is a carefully devised approach to reading and playing from pictures, not conventional music-notation. The "scores" in grid format in 2, 3, 4 and 5 time give plenty of practice at each stage and also encourage children to write their own pieces using the same approach. There are 48 pieces in all for unpitched, pitched and a mixture of pitched and unpitched percussion instruments. Emphasis is placed upon the children really listening to and appraising their own - and others'performances. You can mix and match the pieces and create varied forms, ending up with extended pieces. The book is fully photocopiable and there are templates provided in the book, which you can give to the children for writing out their own music. There is also a handy Teacher's Record Chart, so you can keep track of who has played which score. This dazzlingly simple idea enables children to play together in groups, yet each follow an independent part. The real advantage of this book is that it can be handled by any teacher (music-reader or not), so long as they can count up to 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Suitable KS1[Scottish Levels A-B].

Beginning instrumental ensembles for the classroom by Su Summers
All 10 pieces in this book are either 2 or 4 bars long. Short, but the idea is that you repeat as many times as you wish, changing the combination of parts. There are parts for descant recorders, ocarinas, violins, glock., xylophone and/or metallophones, bass xylophone, percussion and in addition there is a bass clef part as well as parts in Bflat so that beginner clarinets and trumpets can be incorporated too. You need not use the instruments specified in the score - use whatever you have at your disposal. Originally designed as 'warm-up' pieces, this simple idea has developed into a full-scale collection of versatile pieces which give scope for the players to determine the structure and length of each one - or they can be completely spontaneous, as directed by signals from the conductor. Su Summers recommends that each player should have the complete score so that they are fully aware of what everyone else is playing, so this wonderful collection of throughly 'usuable' material is fully photocopiable within the purchasing establishment. An outstanding resource for all schools infant, junior, primary and middle.
Suitable Key Stages 1&2/Scottish Levels A-C.
