Behind Bars

This revised edition of "Behind Bars" by Mari Schay will get your intermediate students playing barred instruments using music designed for successful performances for students in grades 2 - 5. The sophisticated simplicity of these short pieces will enable your students to master them quickly. Once they have gained confidence playing the basic patterns and harmonies, students are introduced to arranging and composing and encouraged to create original performance-length pieces.

This resource includes 11 ostinato-based pieces for barred instruments and non-pitched percussion, as well as teaching suggestions and tips for making your ensembles work. A performance CD is included for your reference.
