A lovely piece of music to introduce at this point is Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee." The original instruments included in the piece were 2 tubas, 3 trombones, 3 trumpets, 4 horns and contrabassoons, 2 bassoons, 3 clarinets, 2 oboes, 2 flutes, an English horn, a piccolo, and the strings (double bass, cello, viola, violin).

I also want to note that I have A LOT more books for Jazz, which we will study in the second half of the year. Those books are listed in the Fun with Music blog post.
