Havana Banana is a laid-back latin number built on a traditional clave rhythm. Although

the rhythms in the individual parts are relatively easy, the polyphonic character of the piece

will challenge counting skills and performer independence.

​

All beginning band pieces are scored as four-part flexible arrangements with percussion. Each instrument gets a melody and a harmony part. The conductor can assign parts to fit the particular instrumentation and strengths of the ensemble. Custom scoring to fit a particular instrumentation is available.
