Zoo Time!

In “Zoo Time!” for alto saxophone and piano, James Rae has imagined how our friends in the zoo might perform on the dance floor! This has inspired some delightful pieces such as “Tiger Tango”, “Rhino Rumba”, “Cobra Calypso” and many more.

But it’s not just fun for pupil and teacher alike; musical styles are explored even at this early (Grade 1) stage and the student will be inspired to try and interpret the music to portray the animals as vividly as possible.

Attractive, teacher-friendly piano accompaniments are provided, which include chord symbols for further musical possibilities. “Zoo Time!” follows on naturally from James Rae’s “Child’s Play” (UE21699) where all the beginners’ notes are introduced one at a time, just as in a standard tutor book.
