For music to be considered quality music it doesn't have to be something extremly difficult. If you can use a piece of music to teach important principals to your band, orchestra, or choir I think that in itself makes quality music. However, if you don't keep your music challenging enough the performers will become bored with it. In high school, my band director was huge on marching band and I felt like that's all we ever played. I didn't learn as much as I could have because we didn't play challenging enough music. That's something to keep in mind too.

I couldn't agree more. This kind of question is rather personal. It's like the question of "what is music?" There is no solid answer. What one person considers to be good quality music another could see as complete and utter trash. It's all a matter of opinion. When it comes to teaching the music, I believe that something (anything...) can be learned from each and every piece of music read.

OFF THE SUBJECT A LITTLE

Marching band music can be quite difficult, it depends upon what piece you are playing.
Our orchestra director would take orchestral pieces and arrange them for our band to march.
We marched to Russian Sailor's Dance, 3rd mvmt 4th symphony Brahmms, Firebird Suite, and Saint-Saens Organ Symphony in c minor to name a few.

So, difficulty depends upon the music given to you.

back on subject.

With this as an example of music to play/listen to, this is where I get my ideas of quality music.
