September/2012
Free Sheet Music to Download
  

 
Dear                     free

 Here is your JB Linear Monthly Freebie.
  
This month's free sheet music is "Easy Winners Rag" by Scott Joplin. This is set for woodwind trios (Part 1: flute, clarinet or alto sax; Part 2: flute or oboe, clarinet, or tenor sax; Part 3 bassoon, bass clarinet, or baritone sax) The parts may be mixed and matched as they are all in the same key. All versions are in the single download. 
 

This month I am experimenting with SmartMusic and I am including Easy Winners files to be used with SmartMusic with this issue of the JB Linear Music newsletter. If you are not familiar, SmartMusic is a great teaching tool that allows a player to play with ensembles with or without their part being played and to record their performance if desired. With a different kind of file, the player can have their performance assessed as to the accuracy of their playing. I am including 3 files on Google Drive File Sharing for you to try: 
  1. The flute, oboe, and bassoon version to play along with.
  2. The 1st flute version for assessment.
  3. The 1st clarinet version for assessment.
As I mentioned, you can record yourself and save it as an mp3 file, so if any of you would like to try this and send your recording, that would be wonderful! (send to jblinear2@comcast.net)

(You need to have a SmartMusic on your computer to use these files.)
