Rainbow Rider

All Grade 1/2's are playable with only 5 instruments: 1 flute, 2 clarinets, 1 alto saxophone, and 1 trumpet. Those instruments are not always doubled elsewhere. The song is written in such a way, it will sound good with a limited instrumentation and richer and fuller as your band gets bigger. All Grade 1/2's by Northeastern Music are playable after only 5 - 7 lessons. At this performance level, no clarinet crosses the break. All chords of the diatonic scale are used and there is an introduction to chord clusters. It is very mild and quick so it is not harsh. The 1st trumpet's highest note is A.
