Fanciful bugs are featured in this collection of 10 solos and 1 duet. The level of difficulty ranges from Grades 2 to 5 (elementary to intermediate) and there is a variety of rhythms, tempos and keys.

This would be fun to play as a first ensemble with an equal partner. Mechanical Man has to be wound up before he’ll move. Halfway through he slows down, stops and has to be wound up again.
