Helpful Tips

“The Pink Panther Theme” is a jazz infused movie theme that has engraved itself into pop culture. Our arrangement makes use of percussive effects, syncopated rhythm hits, and dynamics to create an accurate tribute to the original recording.

I have broken this arrangement into two melodies. The ‘A’ melody is the one everybody recalls when you mention this theme. The trickiest part of this song involves the syncopated rhythm hits.
