The purpose of GARY GAZLAY - MY SCORE MUSIC for CONCERT BAND - Volume I, is to provide band directors with Pep Band/Concert Music for their instrumental music programs.

Some of the compositions were written for my middle school beginning band students as instructional aides to assist them as they were learning their first notes, as well as various rhythms in their band method book.

All of the compositions were written with the goal of providing students with “fun” songs that they would enjoy playing by themselves, and performing with others at concerts, and various events.
The percussion parts were written for limited percussion. However, this should hopefully allow the more advanced players at each level the opportunity to play along on a quad/quint (if desired), as they create their own unique personal part for each song.

It is my hope that all of the compositions will provide students with songs that they will enjoy learning to play, and provide other music educators with a teaching tool that can be used to motivate and encourage their students.
