Product Description
Sakura (sometimes
Sakura, Sakura') is a beautiful yet simple Japanese, traditional song. This
arrangement is part of a new series which is specially designed for classroom
music teachers. The arrangement is very flexible to suit the abilities and resources
available to each individual group and their teacher.
The instrumentation is:
(1) The
melody for C instruments (such as flute)
(2) An
easy part for C instruments
(3) The
same melody for B flat instruments
(4) The
same easy part for B flat instruments
(5) The
same melody for E flat instruments
(6) The
same easy part for E flat instruments
(7) A
single-line percussion part
(8) A
piano part which could be played by a pupil (approximately ABRSM Grade 3) or
teacher
(9) A
ukulele part with chords, the melody and TAB
(10) A guitar part with
chords, the melody and TAB
(11) A bass part in notes and TAB. This part could
also be played by a cello, bassoon or any low-range instrument
(12) The melody written in a higher octave for
more-advanced players (approx. ABRSM Grade 3-4).
In the absence of some of the above, the arrangement
is still effective due to the doubling of the melody. The bass part can also be
omitted as the piano plays appropriate root notes, and the guitar plays chords.
A YouTube video with a demonstration video and audio
track will be available at www.danjonesguitarist.com
and on YouTube. The link will be published at sheetmusicplus.com soon.
I hope that you find this arrangement
useful. If you have suggestions for other pieces and melodies, please do
