All our music in beginning band is based in the key of Bb.

It is really important that you can find this first note on the keyboard.

I like how this teacher explains the thought process.

Hot Cross Buns is a wonderful 1st song to learn for beginner band.

I really like how the teacher introduces this song. Once you learn this song you'll find the songs on page 4-5 from the band book much easier!
