About this item
Based
on a mnemonic device where students learn
eighth and quarter notes using the words “pepperoni
pizza,” this high-energy rock tune includes
an optional drum set part along with an easy
solo section where students can explore basic
improvisation. All students are provided with
guide notes in an open solo section, or you
can bring in a guest soloist on an instrument
of your choice to bring down the house. Highly
entertaining!
*Recorded with Cathy Morris
