PERFORMANCE NOTES
For stylistic authenticity, I suggest you watch and absorb the video of VanHalen performing this piece during the 1995 Balance World Tour at theMolsen Amphitheatre in Toronto, Canada. This can easily be found onYouTube. Please consider this optional spoken introduction at measure five:
Selling nearly 100 million albums over a 40-year span, heavy metal/hard-rockgroup Van Halen is considered by fans and critics alike to be a game-changerin the history of rock and roll. We invite you to sit back, or “Jump” up andexperience one of their biggest hits, “Right Now.”
Enjoy rehearsing and performing this rock classic!
