Middle School Band Music: Fundamentals for Band “Twinkle, Twinkle Ties”

Help your students become better rhythm counters and sight readers with this full band fundamentals pack! By using a simple, easy to play song, your students can focus on mastering tricky tied note rhythms (and not focus on their fingers!)

♫This set is part of our BAND RHYTHM FUNDAMENTALS BUNDLE! Save money with the bundle!♫

This band exercise book contains 3 LEVELS of exercises for full band (in Concert B flat) and would be particularly helpful in a beginning band class setting or for homogeneous sectionals. Each page of music has the Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star original song and 6 variations. Click the green “preview” button to determine what level is appropriate for your students. Level 1-2 is perfect for beginning band classes! We recommend level 3 for your more advanced concert band or symphonic band members that need a challenge.
