Three Adaptable Christmas Duets for beginning band
|
Celebrate the holidays with this fun and flexible set of beginner band duets featuring Jingle Bells, Jolly Old St. Nicholas, and Up On the Housetop! Each tune includes both a straightforward version and a lively variation, giving students the chance to build confidence before tackling a more challenging take on the melody. Written using only the first eight notes typically learned by beginning band students (Ab, A, Bb, C, D, Eb, F, and G), these duets are ideal for the first few months of playing.
The arrangements are fully adaptable and can be mix-and-matched for any combination of band instruments — woodwinds, brass, or mallet percussion — making them perfect for small groups, private lessons, or full beginner ensembles. Students will enjoy hearing how each tune fits together with any instrument pairing, while directors will appreciate the versatility and simplicity. Great for classroom use, holiday concerts, or just spreading a bit of musical cheer! |
