Bullet Train

A dramatic, driving work guaranteed to motivate and excite your students, “Bullet Train” pays homage to the Japanese Shinkansen, a network of the busiest high-speed rail lines in the world, with a top speed of 200 miles per hour! Teaching opportunities abound, as tenutos, staccatos, minor scales, Japanese pentatonic scales, crescendos and decrescendos, are all presented. This piece will bring a unique multi-cultural flavor to any band concert, and will be an audience favorite as well. The biggest challenge? Not to rush, as even the “Bullet Train” will go off the rails if it goes too fast! Accelerated fun from start to finish!
