All Grade ½s are playable with only 5 instruments: 1 flute, 2 clarinets, 1 alto saxophone, and 1 trumpet. Those instruments are not always doubled elsewhere. The song is written in such a way, it will sound good with a limited instrumentation and richer and fuller as your band gets bigger. All Grade ½s by Northeastern Music are playable after only 5 7 lessons. At this performance level, no clarinet crosses the break. This composition rhythmically has only whole, half, and quarter notes only. This is a great song to hand out first. It is easy and a great feeling of accomplishment. All chords of the diatonic scale are used so it does not sound like a beginning band song. 1st trumpets highest note is A.
