Cabo Rico Part 1 | Standard Of Excellence Alto Sax BOOK 2 | Sax Practice With Me

In this session, we dive into the Standard of Excellence Book Two, specifically the piece 'Cabo Rico' on page 29, focusing on part one. This band arrangement has a fantastic marching band vibe that's both fun and engaging.

In 'Cabo Rico,' we'll be playing harmony, so there's no melody to worry about. The notes and rhythms are straightforward, making it an ideal piece for players of all levels. We'll cover key signatures, time signatures, and tempo, keeping things simple and approachable.

As we work through the piece, we'll focus on dynamics, breathing, and playing the notes and rhythms as written. Pay attention to the conductor's direction if you're playing with a group, as dynamics might vary.

We break down the piece section by section, providing insights into dynamics and breath marks. Circle the naturals and breath marks to stay on top of your performance.
