If at First composed by Joe Riposo is an easy grade 1 chart. This composition gives the students a lot of good ensemble playing. Trumpet 3 and alto 2 get to play solos. The solos are written out on the part but the student can improvise their own solo over the blues chord changes. This chart also includes written piano voicing and written bass parts. The chart swings hard from the beginning right through to the end This is a fun chart to play and great chart for the audience to enjoy at your next concert. The tempo is a quarter note at 105 or up to 120.
