There’s no better way to motivate a young band than with some popular Disney music! The new Disney Favorites collection from Hal Leonard‘s Essential Elements Band Method works with all ensembles, regardless of what method they’re using. The books feature eleven great songs from a variety of hit Disney movies that band members are sure to know.
The books include arrangements for the whole ensemble to play together as well as solo arrangements for each instrumentalist. The songs are carefully correlated to correspond with instruction in the Essential Elements method books 1 and 2 so directors will know exactly when their group is ready to take on another song. A handy chart is provided in the table of contents with the progress requirements.
Songs include: Beauty and the Beast • Colors of the Wind • He’s a Pirate • Let It Go • Remember Me (Ernesto de la Cruz) • Under the Sea • We Don’t Talk About Bruno • We’re All in This Together • and more!
The series includes a Conductor’s Edition with full scores for all the band arrangements and a sample solo page for each song, as well as access to full-band recordings of each song.
Essential Elements Disney Favorites instrumental books retail for $9.99 each, and the Conductor Edition retails for $29.99. For more information, retailers can call the Hal Leonard E-Z Order Line at 1-800-554-0626 or email sales@halleonard.com.
