Program Notes Start Your Engines is an exciting concert selection for young band that features the percussion section (with opportunities for doubling parts if needed). The band revs up right from the beginning as the opposing eighth notes in the drums evoke a race car engine at the starting line. As the piece continues, the winds have opportunities to shine in comfortable ranges with reasonable technical demands. The use of the phrase Gentlemen, Start Your Engines became a tradition of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the early 1950s. The Greatest Race Course in the world has celebrated over 100 years of competition in motorsports. Note to the Conductor Measures 37-40 require staggered and independent entrances. This is especially the case for the flute, clarinet and trumpet sections. Students should be challenged to enter confidently while performing at a softer dynamic so as to allow for an effective crescendo leading into m. 45. For some younger students, the use of repeat signs and phrases like 2nd time only may not be familiar. This piece presents an excellent opportunity to become familiar with this common device.

You can make beautiful chords easily with just one or two fingers This frees you up to focus on the right hand, the hand that generates the rhythm. And thats going to make it possible for you to sound like a real guitar player right from the start.In this video, Alan Dworsky gives you clear instruction that goes nice and slow, step by bite-sized step, in lessons that are as beautiful musically as they are visually. Every chord, technique, and pattern is shown from a players eye view and a side view, and all are illustrated in backyard musical performances by Al and Indie-award-winning guitarist Dean Magraw.
