These melodies are supported by a lot of fun, toy-like percussion accessories in the background such as sleigh bells, ratchet, temple blocks, vibraslap, and a whip crack. These are important musical concepts to introduce to young performers and Slawson does this in an accessible and fun way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSanta’s Strut comes as a professionally printed and bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or for tablet viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of players: 10-11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty: Elementary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrumentation:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 1: Glockenspiel, ratchet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 2: Xylophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 3: Vibraphone, whip crack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 4: Marimba 1 (4 octave)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 5: Marimba 2 (shared w\/Player 4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 6: Marimba 3 (4.3 octave), brake drum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 7: Marimba 4 (shared w\/Player 6), temple\/woodblocks \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 8: 2 Timpani (26\" \u0026amp; 29\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 9: Chimes, sleigh bells, ribbon crasher, vibraslap, bell tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayer 10: Drum set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43826923634742,"sku":"TSPCE21-012","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/slawson-santa-s-strut-sp-b-v-x-2m-2t-ds-p.jpg?v=1774643108","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.com\/products\/slawson-santas-strut","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
