I absolutely love playing this Stevie Wonder classic in our community band! Paul Murtha's arrangement for "Superstition" perfectly nails the funky groove and signature riffs – it really sounds like the original. The Grade 2-3 difficulty means it's challenging enough to be rewarding but totally achievable for adult learners. So much fun to play and a real crowd-pleaser!

This "Superstition" arrangement is a solid pick for any concert band gig. Paul Murtha captures the essential funky groove and signature riffs, making it instantly recognizable. The flexible instrumentation is a huge plus for varying group sizes. While I didn't see explicit chord symbols listed for every part, the full score should provide clear guidance for improvisers or rhythm section. Good to go!
