Aunt Rhodie's Diet is a sequel to the incredibly popular Aunt Rhodie's Appetite.Both arrangements are novel settings in which a beginning band can perform the standard folksongs found in the first few pages of most band methods. Because they are so easyto play, these arrangements by themselves would not make much of a concert, even for abeginning group. However, when used as incidental music to the story, the songs become sufficientlyinteresting to the audience, without taxing the capabilities of students who haveonly been playing for about 10 to 12 weeks.
