In this episode of Band BFFs, we explore Synergy March by William Owens, a delightful six-note march perfect for beginner and non-varsity bands. At just one minute long, this piece offers fantastic teaching opportunities with simple rhythms, limited articulations, and plenty of phrasing practice. We'll dive into strategies for developing articulation clarity, guiding students through full-value notes, and ensuring they connect longer phrases. This march also provides a fun chance for students to work on breath control and timing, with an adorable call-and-response section that passes between instrument sections.

Whether you're looking to build musical confidence in a beginner ensemble or add a charming march to your program, Synergy March is a fantastic pick for young bands.
