Hey-Ho
Helpful Hints:
-This song uses new note "low G". This is the same fingering as "high G". The trick is to blower warmer, down. It sound lower than any note we have learned so far.

When the Saints Go Marching
Helpful Hints:
-Not everyone plays the same part at the same time. Listen to play-along to hear how your part fits in with the rest of the band.
-Remember, a whole note (looks like an empty circle) gets four beats of sound.
-A quarter rest (looks like a lightening bolt), gets one beat of silence.
