PLAYING TIPS

  1. It should not be too slow as it will make playing the long notes difficult. 
  2. legato: means to play the notes with almost no space in-between.  Instead of saying “to” on each note try saying “do”.  It will make it sound smoother.
  3. BASS and PERCUSSION Parts:    Watch out for the: play 2nd X only (that means to play on the repeat only) in measure #1 and then the:  play both X’s (means to play both times) at measure #5.
