This piece was designed to teach various forms of syncopation in an ensemble setting. While much of what is presented is pretty straightforward and somewhat "common" in terms of syncopated figures, there is still an element of "tongue-in-cheek" to this work. This piece is sold as a like-instrument ensemble (3 flutes, 2 trombones, etc) but it can be combined with other like-instrument groups to form mixed ensembles - purchase the flute, clarinet and trombone books and you can create a mix and match trio.
