专辑简介

Pat holds a B. S. and an M. Ed. in music education. Having taught music in the Public schools of Pennsylvania for 32 years, and playing music professionally for all of his adult life, he retired from a very busy schedule to devote more time to his real passion - writing and recording his own music. The years of teaching and performing have given him a unique insight into what really "works" musically for others. You'll find no "musicians' music" here. You'll have as much fun listening to the music as he had making it!

Mr. Frederick also has many original instrumental arrangements available on his web site (http://mywebpages.comcast.net/patfredmusician/). These compositions are very playable and accessible particularly on the school and community band level. There are many jazz band and small ensemble works listed there. If you are the director of a school band or community performing group or if you are the leader of your own instrumental group check out the web site - you'll be glad you did!
