I absolutely love this piece! What would you say the difficulty level of it is?

  Hi Jillian,
  
  Slap Me isn’t too hard except for a few fast passages and of course the use of slap tonguing. A keen sense of rhythmic independence is required to hold this piece together. I’m glad that you like it. I would give it 4 out of 5 for difficulty.

Can’t wait to take on this piece. Intensive slaps, with a jazz feel. This has the GVSU saxophone studio all over it.
