Welcome to Greg Lutz Music!

We hope you enjoy browsing our site! We are proud to offer:

*Full Sounding 3-Part Arrangements for Elementary Band

Got 15 flutes, one trumpet, and 3 snares? You've come to the right place...these charts work with ANY instrumentation- perfect for the elementary band director with a limited/unbalanced group, or just in search of strong material for a developing band.

*Original Works for Concert Band

Grades 1 through 5 original material found nowhere else! Novelty pieces, patriotic tributes, even an imaginary laboratory and an epic adventure...your band will truly enjoy learning and performing this powerful music!

*Original Charts for Jazz Band

Grades 1 through 4; a fresh breeze, these exciting tunes and engaging arrangements were composed by a professional jazz musician. An important educational consideration- the solo sections are designed to let the novice and the experienced player stand side by side and take a ride on the same tune, and can be approached on several levels at once.

*Small Ensemble Pieces

Grades 2-1/2 through 6; ranging from solo pieces to trios and quartets, your homogenous ensembles and instrument choirs will shine with these gems. Also useful as section features, these unique pieces run the gamut from gentle folk song settings to 20th Century Music.

*"Use The Blues As You Choose; A Beginner's Guide to Jazz Improvisation" Curriculum

Designed from almost two decades of experience teaching kids to improvise, this curriculum is effective with kids from 6th through 12th grade. With two legs, a shorter "Two Bar Phrase Blues Lick" phase and a longer "Notecell" phase, this curriculum can be used in a year long Improvisation/Jazz Band course, a semester-long elective, a grading-period long activity period, or even just a week-long summer camp.

*Be a Better Musician Through Transposition

A fun and effective way to enhance your musicianship! This course of study (complete with workbooks) allows ease and freedom in up to 12 keys, fills the subconscious with a huge variety of melodies, and allows the student to perceive the subtle, underlying structures which hang behind all music.

*Homespun CDs

Whether you enjoy jazz, inspirational, eclectic electric, or even Christmas tunes, we have what you're looking for. Take a listen for yourself!
