11 pieces in styles from all over the globe
All aboard for another musical tour of the globe, led by Mike Mower! "Junior Musical Postcards" containes eleven brand-new pieces in eleven fascinating world music styles, tailor-made for younger players. The trip starts with a boisterous Cajun stomp, and finishes with an elegant Viennesse polka, taking in places as diverse as China, Jamaica and Wales along the way - all with accompaniments on the playalong CD.
The "Junior Musical Postcards" book contains melody lines, with chord symbols to help improvisation. The pieces are brought to life by background information and illustrations, and playing hints too. The CD contains two versions of each tune - one with a solo part for listening and learning, the other without, for accompanying performances.
"Junior Musical Postcards" is available for flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet and violin; there is also a book for keyboard accompaniments.
