A Variety of New Titles
Posted on July 11, 2010
Filed Under Music | Leave a Comment
SEVERAL NEW ITEMS
The Dare Team Press is excited to announce the release of a variety of new titles.
ROOM FOR ONE MORE – Scored for a specified minimum number of ringers, these four new titles offer the option of adding several more ringers. This flexibility should be helpful for small groups whose sizes tend to vary.
Two new suites with teaching guidelines
Either of these 3-octave, level 1 suites would be good follow-up material after completing the Up and Ringing! method book. Every octave gets melodic material somewhere in each suite.
New titles for the Christmas season
Check our website for two new selections from the Dare Team Press plus a new release from Composers Music Company entitled The Best Christmas Medley Ever, a medley of carols arranged by John C. Dare.
Click on the WHAT’S NEW button for a general announcement and links to the all the new releases. Miniature scores are posted; playback files will be put on the site as soon as I can get them ready.
Thank you for your continued interest in our music.
