Sheet Music for the Pyne Arts Jazz Bands

Funded Sep 19, 2024

Thank you so much for helping out our classroom! All of the sheet music has arrived, and I've already started passing it out to students. Currently, we are working on "Milestones", which is a piece written by Miles Davis. We are using it to practice short/staccato rhythms, saxophone chords, and whole ensemble balance.

For our Pops concert in June, I am planning on having the students play "Come Fly With Me" and "25 or 6 to 4". "Come Fly With Me" was a student request, so being able to use student input to shape our programming is an incredible privilege! The other pieces from this project will be used (and re-used) in years to come, providing our ensembles the chance to play quality and historically significant music that they will hopefully remember for a long time. Thank you for that opportunity! I appreciate it, and I know the students already do too.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Labrie
