The Wooden Clock was composed for students in the early stages of musical development and employs basic rhythms and techniques in a creative and fun manner. Keeping time as a musician is essential, and this clever work reminds young musicians of that important responsibility in music making. Wood blocks are also used to mimic the ticking of a clock, and the entire band gets involved as they whisper "tick, tock, tick, tock" in several places.

This fun and creepy music pays tribute to these gruesome creatures that have brought thrills and chills through books, movies and television. Their popularity has only grown and in the battle for world supremacy they now take over the concert stage, making us a true Zombie Nation! 

They're gruesome, they're frightening, they just happen to also be the biggest craze in movies and television - and your students will love bringing them to their concerts! Imagine the sight of hoards of zombies as they terrorize the countryside in search of victims. As frightening as they are, these spooky creatures will give everyone a thrill as the music brings them to life - sort of - in search of their next adventure!  

Imagine that you are being pursued by a horde of Zombies, the living dead, who have decided to make you one of them. You run inside your house and lock the door, but they come knocking.  You tell them to go away, but they just knock louder and as time goes on their knocking grows more and more insistent.  How will it end?  Listen to this scary piece and judge for yourself.
