During lockdown, I arranged a set of compatible parts for mixed ability, mixed instrumental family groups. Of course, these are also suitable for mixed-ability school ensembles.
The Family Band is arranged in five parts. Everything is compatible with everything else, and it’s not necessary to have all parts covered – just find a part in the right key most suitable to your standard.
- Tune (A): high and low versions in C (flute/violin/oboe), B flat (trumpet/clarinet/tenor sax), E flat (tenor horn/alto sax), F (horn) and bass clef in C (trombone/cello/tuba)
- Descant (B): challenging parts for a more advanced player in C, B flat, E flat and F.
- Harmony (C): simple parts – high and low in C, B flat, E flat and F.
- Bass (D): parts in bass clef in C (trombone/cello/basson/tuba) and treble clef B flat (brass band instruments).
- Piano accompaniment (with guitar chords).
