Follows on from Level Two (above). More super tunes for the developing band. Instrumentation as for Level One (above).
The aim of FIRST BLOW is to encourage group-playing in the early stages of learning. To this end, all the parts are deliberately simple and stick strictly to the four parts in the score.
This book is suitable for wind or brass bands (or a mixture of both!) and so far as possible, an equal number of players should be allocated to each part. If there is a lack of, say, bass instruments, this part can be reinforced on piano, playing from the score. If clarinet players of a higher standard are available, they may prefer to play the ‘upper octave’ parts as this will brighten the overall sound of the band.
