Ronde
- Work slowly and practice it bit by bit.
- Learn the rhythms first.

Herbie Hancock

(Make sure you listen to this - he's amazing!)
Our version
This tune is easy and great fun to play!
There are loads of rests and all the parts have the same rhythm.
Trumpet 1 - goes up to high C
Trumpet 2 - sticks to your first 5 notes (C D E F G)
Trombone - first 5 notes and a low B
There are three short bits to learn for each part.
Trumpet 1 bits
