Reminiscent of train travel during the height of the steam locomotive, this collection of 5 captivating solos is sure to motivate students to
"stay on track" when it comes time to practice. Each piece is 2 to 3 minutes in length and in one of three familiar keys (C, F, or G major). With varying styles, including a march, a polka, and a little jazz, these pieces add appeal and variety to the repertoire of the intermediate student and a fond reminder of days gone by when played for a recital.

"Railroad Days."Titles in this collection which are also available separately (with accompanying audio samples) include:Railroad PolkaTicket in Hand, Ready to RollHear the Whistle BlowRolling Across the Prairie
