Free Music for School/Training Band
The music on this page is available FREE to all School and Training Bands.
Scored for 3 Bb instruments (optional BC parts and 3rd Eb part) plus an "easy" Bb part, Eb Horn (optional F part), Eb Bass (TC) and simple percussion.
The 1st part carries the melody and the remaining parts are as simple as possible, often using only 2 notes. There is some fingering for accidentals (trombone positions underneath).
An Mp3 file is included with each download.
When your band has outgrown these easy pieces try them on something from my Brass Band page, these pieces are scored for mixed ability groups and mostly work with smaller bands (with or without percussion).

Another Day. An easy version of my popular cornet solo. A little harder than the other arrangements, this can be played as a cornet/trombone/euphonium solo or as a band piece. No easy Bb part as the 2nd and 3rd are easy. Drum kit part included although not essential. If you don' have a drummer try using just a tambourine to give a "pop" feel.
Download "Another Day" here.
Hymn for St. Jim. Starts as a simple hymn tune and then on the second time through it akes on a "pop" feel. Simple syncopation and changing rhythms in the lower parts make this a little more challenging. Drum kit part included although not essential. If you don' have a drummer try using just a tambourine to give a "pop" feel.
