Difficulty: Easy (great for beginning junior high, high school and college steel bands)

For 19 years I have taught my steel band classes (6 in total) on Sunday's, so it was inevitable I would eventually write a tune called "Sunday Soca". It was composed for my beginning level student band, many of whom have little to no musical experience.

Pedagogical Points/Performance Notes-

The first 4 measures are a great way to introduce rolling to your students. Discussion can include hand speed (faster for higher pans, slower for lower), evenness of sound, and how to keep the underlying pulse while your hands are moving at a different tempo.
