March of the Centipedes [Alf:36-50105171]

The image of a band of centipedes marching down the street in band uniforms, struggling to keep all their legs in step is an excellent method by which to introduce your students to sixteenth notes. With a pair of alternate fingerings taught to the alto saxophones, most of the sixteenth note passages are repetitive and playable with the movement of only a single finger. Brilliant and tremendous fun!
