Unregistered	I have a boy (I don't teach him) doing Grade 4 trumpet. My Peri and I have suggested he does Muskrat Ramble with swung quavers and not as written in the edition he's using, which doesn't mention swing. I'm sure I'm right (and have listened to youtube examples) but would appreciate a 3rd opinion. Thanks
