Ed Hartman: Press

“ Mr. Hartman has combined a catchy melody with colorful harmonies for his “soldiers,” enhanced with a simple but effective piano accompaniment that is well within the capabilities of the student pianist. This solo gives intermediate students an entertaining diversion while they increase their familiarity with the xylophone keyboard."
—John R. Raush
