FJH Music Company Rocky Mountain Romp

Grade 1
The rich history of the Rocky Mountain National Park includes many cultural treasures, such as ancient trails, game drives, cattle ranches, and lodges. With a hint of Aaron Copland and a salute to the rich traditions throughout the Rocky Mountains, this hoedown conjures images of life on the ranch.Rocky Mountain Romp is excellent for introducing easy syncopation, accents, and dynamic contrast. All accents should be played in the context of the written dynamic to give the piece its true character. An advanced snare drum part is provided for more developed percussionists. Both parts may be played simultaneously to involve more students if desired.
