The tenors have a simple melody and serve in more of an accompanimental role, which allows the other voices to shine. Letter C is a bass section solo built around an arpeggio. I would recommend starting this section early in the learning process to allow the bass pan players to feel comfortable with movements. The piece ends with a fadeout at the letter E. I recommend keeping students still as the sound fades out to nothing. The drumset player uses a onedrop reggae beat on the ride cymbal during letters B and D.

The last half of Letter A is used as an ending at Letter G. The drum set uses a standard soca groove at Letter B and then switches to a power soca using the floor tom at Letter C. The last two measures of Letter B and all of Letter C have the melody in the tenor line and bass line. The strumming patterns for the double second and triple guitars change from upbeat focus in Letter B to downbeat focus in Letter C.

The snowfall inspired me to write a chart where the steel pans sang like a choir. The focus of the smooth legato rolls on the pans recreates the image of snow falling on the ground. I recommend starting to learn letter G first. Each steel pan plays a descending F major scale, starting with the tenors and ending with the bass pans. This same scale can be used in the open solo section in letter D. An accompaniment part was written for double seconds, triple guitars, and basses, but these voices can take a solo as well. The director can choose to keep the pulse steady at 80 bpm or allow the piece to flow in and out of that tempo.

We are based in Nashville, TN, so it was appropriate that the style would be country. Letter C is a feature for the triple guitars and bass pans based on a descending arpeggio. Letter A features a harmony created by each steel pan starting on a different part of the descending G major scale. At letter E, be sure to focus on the cascading effect created by the rolls and descending scales.

Each chart is about 2-3 minutes long. This collection offers multiple styles of music, including Country, Chorale, Reggae, and Soca. Each chart follows a simple structure that makes learning the music easy and accessible even for newer steel bands. This is a great resource for new steel band directors in the Middle School setting. This Bundle Pack is priced at just $50 for all 5, that's $10 per chart!!

The double seconds and triple guitars have a consistent strumming pattern throughout the entire piece. The whole steel band can work on these rhythms together. The drum set uses a standard soca rhythm at Letter B and a reverse soca rhythm at Letter C. There are sixteenth notebased rhythms in the tenor line at Letter C. The pattern is repetitive and can be learned very quickly through rhythm exercises. Letter A and Letter F use the same phrases. I would recommend working on these parts together in rehearsal.
