Jane has been teaching percussion in Texas for years and has amassed quite a collection of arrangements. She arranged ensembles for Orff instruments as well as standard percussion. Per-Mus and Jane have started a project rearranging her ensembles for easy to intermediate percussion ensembles. You can double up on any of the mallet parts and have a large ensemble or just perform one on a part. These arrangements are really fun to play and present well in a concert.[1]
