Digital Sheet Music

By Traditional Japanese Melody

Item Number: A0.851208

Sakura (sometimes‘Sakura, Sakura') is a beautiful yet simple Japanese, traditional song. Thisarrangement is part of a new series which is specially designed for classroommusic teachers. The arrangement is very flexible to suit the abilities and resourcesavailable to each individual group and their teacher.

 The instrumentation is:

(1)  Themelody for C instruments (such as flute)

(2)  Aneasy part for C instruments

(3)  Thesame melody for B flat instruments

(4)  Thesame easy part for B flat instruments

(5)  Thesame melody for E flat instruments

(6)  Thesame easy part for E flat instruments

(7)  Asingle-line percussion part

(8)  Apiano part which could be played by a pupil (approximately ABRSM Grade 3) orteacher

(9)  Aukulele part with chords, the melody and TAB

(10) A guitar part withchords, the melody and TAB

(11)  A bass part in notes and TAB. This part couldalso be played by a cello, bassoon or any low-range instrument

(12)  The melody written in a higher octave formore-advanced players (approx. ABRSM Grade 3-4).

 In the absence of some of the above, the arrangementis still effective due to the doubling of the melody. The bass part can also beomitted as the piano plays appropriate root notes, and the guitar plays chords.

A YouTube video with a demonstration video and audiotrack will be available at www.danjonesguitarist.comand on YouTube. The link will be published at sheetmusicplus.com soon.
